 The B-4 chargers are nicely thinner. However, not all the countries have
 the same kind of power strips. In Peru the power strips are inverse to the
 way the new chargers are designed.
 The Peru team recommended to either make chargers: 1) with two directions
 (two US kind of chargers but with different direction of the pins) and
 send to each country the corresponding one, or 2) to have only one kind
 with a rotating bottom (where the pins of the charger connect to the power
 strip)
 -- A personal comment: I have found that chargers are prone to getting
 lost by children. Maybe we need to brainstorm about it.
 [note: the Peru chargers use the US kind]
