 I know I've said I don't agree with doing call out posts. But this is a call out and each of you knows who you are.

 @134318c2 Just @ me next time 
 @134318c2 I put my cable box in the free section at craigslist the other day and it got snatched in less than 1 
 @134318c2 It doesn't help that the AC adapters are usually only labelled with the name of their third-party manufacturer while also only being usable on one device - so if you find one around the house, you don't know what it's for, so you end up keeping it just in case.
As an aside, I also have a few devices I can't use because I can't find the correct adapters for them... 
 Guilty. 
 @134318c2 Guilty as charged. Good one! 
 @134318c2 AC adapters should be forcibly standardized to exactly three types, and if any company makes a thing that requires an AC adapter that is not one of the 3 types, a minimum of 5 randomly selected company board members must be launched into the Sun. 
 @134318c2 If only all consumer electronics were made to a standard so all of these could be interchanged. 
 @134318c2 Do you know my husband?
