[Maced] charging laptops

[David Burke]

Hi Jenny,

I setup something just like the first thing you described at Jamberoo,  
pinched the idea from what I saw at Mt Warrigal PS. I'll be back at  
JPS this Wednesday and if I remember, I'll take a snap for you. Will  
be interesting to see if things are still going smoothly or if there's  
been any issues.

Just bought the tub/trolley from one of those storage shops and then  
lined it with thin (but strong) rubber from Clark's Rubber. The  
chargers remain plugged in the lab.
