It seems silly to use a $1000 computer to charge up something, instead
of a $20 battery charger.

Considering that so many things use USB incorrectly (e.g. expect full
power without negotiation, expect to be able to draw more current than
the spec allows, etc.), I really dislike self-powered USB devices, and
despise things that use USB merely as some sort of power supply.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
