I had about five at one point without a single Nokia apparatus left. Now I come into posession of an unusued pre-smartphone Nokia (still a useful tool, for receiving calls) a week after I've junked the DC plugs. I've just discovered five Motorola plugs with one matching phone. Maybe I can build a time-capsule.

And now, after arriving in Belgium, we have appliances from Australia, America, and Europe. Our powerboards are a mess of converters and step-down transformers. It is so frustrating that there are so few universal cables. Even the telephone lines here have weird circular connectors. Oh I know!
