We have two Motorola phones in our family and I have a Blackberry. The
Blackberry can be recharge on most any standard mini USB cable from
most any of the standard mini USB chargers or car adaptors. This is
also including the Motorola charger and Motorola car adaptor.
The Motorola phone can only be recharged with the dedicated Motorola
charger. To use a generic charger with the Motorola phone it must be
specified for Motorola phones. This also applies to the car adaptors.
If I want to charge the Motorola phone on a PC, I have to have their
full program software installed. To recharge the Blackberry I can have
their simple stand alone driver installed on any PC. I don't need the
complete software package.
What they did with the Motorola product is that the charger's voltage
control circuits have to send to the phone an ID data packet to tell
the phone that it is allowed to be recharged with that device. The
phone will then allow itself to accept the charge current from the
charger. In simple words, the charger has to make the phone think it
is on a powered USB port and the necessary driver is active for the
phone.

You're so right!
I never buy a cell phone without finding out first if it's mini-usb or not.
Same with headphones and gps navigation units.
One problem I've found with cellphones is Motorola. For some reason,
Motorola USB is "special" USB.
I've found that Motorola chargers work fine with all other phones but
Motorola phones don't work well with the other chargers. But I found a
solution that works so that a single charger charges all my electronics.
This happened with my Blackberry 8700 two years ago and again with my new
Blackberry 9000 this year.

I have never met anyone who wants that blasted sidebar.

I have been running across a lot of laptops and monitors lately
which appear to have bad CCFL tubes. a lot of these seem to have
similar connectors.
I have been thinking of constructing some kind of test ballast
so i can attempt to power up the tubes to see if its the tubes
or the ballast that is bad. Researching some replacement bulbs
for laptops,there seems to be a lot of different tube types.
Anybody got any ideas on how to build one?
Does it need variable strike and run voltages just for test
purposes?
What i want to do is put the tester on the bulb socket at the ballast
and power up the bulb to see if it lights ok before completely
dismantling the LCD which can be a real pain on some of them.

My son has one of these type too (I wont let him near my
Nitro Heli )
The pitch of the blades are fixed so the higher the speed of
the motor the higher it goes which also provides forward
motion. The tail rotor stabilises as in the real thing and
bigger heli's and provides turn. Ingenious....
