This is a general question about all those plug-in
power-supplies/battery-rechargers that we all have so many of.
The kind that have a big plug/transformer at one end that plugs into the
wall, and a plug that plugs into a low-voltage electronic device at the
other end.
The question is (in general): Which is better practice:
1) Plug the big plug into the wall socket, then plug the little
plug into the device?
2) The other way around - plug it into the device first, then
into the wall?
Or doesn't it matter?
I would assume that in the vast majority of cases, it doesn't matter,
but that it might matter in some. Incidentally, I have an old USB 1.0
hub from Radio Shack, the instructions to which explicitly said that one
should always do it in the way of #2 above.
