Anyone in O'Hare?
I can never find a free outlet at O'Hare, but I'd heard that under/behind most water fountains there's a spare one (I think that means that one is being used by the fountain itself). If anyone is passing through, could you see if you can spot such a thing? (And if you can send me a photo, I'll really be your best friend.) Thanks

I keep forgetting to buy one, but a friend travels with a very lightweight power strip - essentially a fancy extension cord with 3-4 connections. He's always popular in conference rooms that aren't properly wired, and I'm sure in airports as well. Something sort of like this:

agreed, I've got a 1 into 3 power splitter plug, usually lots of cheers when I plug it into an outlet so more can use it and occassionally harsh words from people who think that once they plug an item into an outlet that it becomes 'theirs'.
