How about they do one thing right first, Invent an universal power connector, I got so many different ones it would take like 10 extension cords to get them all in, and I have to spend a lot of time making sure that x charger goes with x external disk, or with my bluetooh earpiece, or my european phone usb charger and my att phone charger,,,,, etc
god save me from power chargers

John is right I do worry about being on the inside of a microwave while it is on :P
but getting rid of those damn plugs might make it worh it
just don’t set my room to pop popcorn
