There are other 3rd-party power supplies out there.  FWIW, I've been using a
Kensington  model 33193 PS for 3-4 years with my AL powerbook.  It came with
an adapter that fit the Pismo model, too.  (Sorry, I don't remember which
power tip it was--Kesnington had different tips for differnt uses--"N"
series for computers, another for ipods, some for phones.)  I've been happy
with this PS--slim so it fits well in a computer bag, doesn't seem to heat
up terribly compared to others.
