I guess they are not helping with that organization problem on your desk/in your office either?

When we travel, I now have a special bag just for all the chargers.

you'd be surprised on how much electricity those things eat even when they are not charging your stuff

me i use a surge protector with a switch - when i am charging them switch on - and it's off when not in use

invest in a label maker - I scored mine for free through a Staples special - and just label the wall warts and their associated cords and voila - now you know what belongs to what!

I saw something similar at BJ's, was not very expensive.

the thing that drives me nuts is the "unauthorized charger" message on my verizon phones.

Oh man, I feel your pain...

I have learned to go the route of labels; every time I get a new one I immediately slap one on it. I was motivated to do this about a year ago. I had, had being the operative word here, a really nice rechargeable flashlight. I went to use it and it was dead, so I grabbed the charger, plugged it in and ran down stairs with a normal flashlight. About 5 minutes later I came upstairs only to smell this really nasty "hot" smell. Without too much of a delay I realized it was the flashlight, and let me tell ya, that sucker was hot! Charger and flashlight - fried...

One day at a time, one charger at a time. Unplug em all when not in use, as Steve said those suckers use a lot of juice even when not in use.
