I do the same. One thing to keep in mind, is that the voltage coming out of the live end of the adapter is stepped down considerably from what is coming to the outlet. Were I to follow this advice, I would have to unplug my laptop charger from the wall, then unplug my laptop, then put the charger somewhere safe and out of the way, then when I come home, I would have to unwrap the charger, plug it into my laptop, then Plug it into the wall outlet again.

I'm glad I never upgraded to 6.1 but went straight from 5.1 to Mpower implant. I have always been able to unplug the BN adapter cord without unplugging from the wall socket. In fact, I leave the adapter in the socket as much as possible. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
