That's very true.=20

The difference for me of course is those two chargers live in my carry
on bag and my suitcase. They don't leave, even when I'm at home (since I
don't generally need them at home).

There is nothing more frustrating than not having a charger. Went on a
trip last year to Mexico. Bought a waterproof point and shoot just for
that trip (also had my normal point and shoot with me). Got to the
destination and realized I'd packed a charger for a camera I didn't
bring. Had to ration that one charge on the point and shoot. Actually
managed to not exhaust the battery by the end of the trip (it took far
more pictures on that charge then I expected), but I certainly didn't
use it as much as I'd have liked.

Never even considered using the phone line or something like that to
charge it!

This has been a very educational thread for me! :)
