Yeah, I had my power cut off and I had sparking in the wire at the computer-end then no power at all. All due to the poor design of the power supply unit. Flimsy cord that obviously won't last more than a couple of years. I had to shell out US$80 for a new unit that prolly won't last more than a year. nick -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
