Some of the Pismos qualify for a new yo-yo adaptor under a U.S. Apple exchange program. This includes PowerBook G3 systems shipped from May 1998 until March 2000. Anyone who owns a Wallstreet, Lombard, or Pismo should check to see if their Powerbook adapter qualifies for the exchange. There is a chance it could be a fire hazard. 6 adapters have overheated, with no injuries reported. http://exchange.info.apple.com/exchange/ Jackie -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
