BETTER IDEAS
The 50-cent alternative: In the March
issue (page 77), I mentioned a $129 pocket-size backup power
source for laptops and cell phones. Reader Jordan Krolick, a CPA in
Marietta, Ga., suggests a 50-cent alternative. Carry one of those
3-in-1 electric plugs. With such a plug, you can offer to share an
outlet at an airport with at least two other users using just a
one-plug wall outlet. The versatile plug is also handy for use in
hotel rooms with few easily accessible outlets and when you want to
recharge your laptop and cell phone at the same time.
