I suspect that's at least partially due to their experience in Europe. Back in the early days of cellphones, every cellphone sold included a charger in the box, complete with a proprietary connection. This led to large numbers of (perfectly usable) chargers ending up in the trash (or, of you were lucky, in the electronics recycling bin). Eventually this led to laws requiring a standard way of charging, &c. While I've still got a variety of chargers lying around (at least 3 different types of USB connectors, and different "fast charge" modes) I've got less different chargers I use now, serving far more devices. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
