I'd feel stupid the first time I want another port and don't have it. But I'm not going for the 10-port. That's just silly. Probably. Isn't it? Hmm ... -- Drew

If you plug in devices like an iPad that can use 2+ Amps (usual come with 12 Watt charger) you could not even plug in 4 of them without hitting the charger limit in the Amps the first link points to. Don't just count outlets! iPhones only need 1 Amp. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov Edited by a6l6e6x March 30, 2018, 11:29:27 PM EDT Expand All History
