   And USB as a
cheap source of power makes all of those really cool
 devices--shavers, foot warmers, fans, etc.  possible.  [So] does a bench supply...

Sure, but you usually can't get a bench supply for under the price of a 
fast food burger, while you usually can get a USB "charger".  I think

inexpensively.  Of course, they're also not of the same quality as a 
bench supply.  I wouldn't use them for anything that I can't easily repair.
