The Committee has already contacted me. I'm expecting serious consideration.

While you folks are quick to point out my scientific errors, you don't seem to be reading the rest of the post. Let me make it clearer.

We tried charging two iPads with original iPad chargers and two blackberries with an original blackberry charger. These devices were plugged into at least two different outlets in two separate hotel rooms. The person in guest room 1 had the same problem as the person in guest room two. The chargers did work but the time to charge was slower than normal.

This makes suggestions like tangled cords, battery issues seem unlikely. It is possible the light switch impacted the outlet but wouldn't that make the outlet stop working? The outlet does work it was just slow. I tried another outlet which seemed to work better. Not sure if person in other room has tried another outlet.

Bottom line.... Minor issue. Just was wondering if there was something i wasn't aware of. Thanks for the remedial science lesson and the sarcasm.
