Just got back from a couple weeks trip on East Coast, forgot my wall
charger. Bought a cheap charger for $5.99 in a discount store (made in
China) and its wiring melted down the first time I used it. In Mexico
they have a saying, "Lo barato sale caro." (Cheap ends up expensive).
Certainly true in my case.
