Dick Cheney's iPod takes priority

wonder why he simply didnt plug his ipod into sumones laptop that was pluged in, theirby freeing up a socket. thats what i would have done

What do these road warriors use for brains? You mean to say that not a one of them carried either an exteension cord with extra outlets or an outlet multiplier? As a former tech supporter on the road 50% of the time, those things (among other stuff) were in my little bag of tools. These guys should know that outlets can be rare not only on government jets, but also anywhere public. They have no one to blame but themselves!

That's part of why I have a simple extension cord with 3 outlets in my notebook bag. (the other is the number of outlets and their location in hotels) At the airport outlets can be tough to find. A free one is often very rare. If the receptacle near the gate is taken, I just ask if we can share the outlet using an extension cord. Always works. They lose 10 secs of charging up time, if that. And, I of course gladly share with more people. We're all in the same boat, looking for some power for our tech stuff, so why not share.
