Default How many things do you plug in?

I realized, when I got home this evening, that I have a crap-load of electronic gadgets to recharge. An iPod, PDA, laptop, and cell phone.








...and it's up to you if SO's count.

On a typical day? Zero.

I recharge my c*ll ph*n* maybe once a month. (Which is more often than I actually make or receive a call on it.)

I do swap the rechargable battery out of my mp3 player every few days, so that might count.

Cellphone. Sometimes my cordless rechargeable screwdriver.

For Mr. M: Cellphone. Sometimes his HT, but mostly he uses disposable batteries for that.

Oh, I forgot. The digital camera I use has a rechargeable battery, but that holds a charge for a LONG time.

2 cellphones, 2 laptops, iPod. The iPod usually gets recharge every 2-3 days depends on if I've been watching movies.

There's nothing worse than being out of town and realizing that you've left you're charger at home.

HT?

for me, it's a cell, a digi cam and an mp3 player, although like Maine-iac, my camera holds a charge for a real long time. And it better when an extra battery costs $100..
