Obviously Rex! I overheard your conversation as well. Apple has just recently discontinued the old ?yo-yo? type of external AC power supply, the ones originally furnished with the clam shelled ibooks. The clam shelled models were translucent or ?ice? as you called it and came in tangerine, lime, blueberry and graphite.
We call the generation(s) of ibooks following that white with the most common model being referred to as ?dual usb? ibooks. Sorry for the miscommunication and the extra trip you had to make. For those reading this, it is always best to shop for a replacement AC adapter with the old one in hand or your laptop in hand. It tends to prevent mistakes like this from happening.

I went to MacTown last night and told them I had an "ice-colored iBook" and needed a replacement power supply. The guy at the counter said that Apple had discontinued that model of laptop so there were not Apple-branded power supplies available. And that MacTown was out of stock on the third-party power supplies (from BTI). They suggested I go to CompUSA and try, which I did and found the power supply I needed and bought it. But thinking back on it I'm wondering now if perhaps I made a mistake that ended up sending my business to CompUSA instead of to MacTown. When I said "ice-colored iBook" in my head I was talking about the G3 version of this notebook: http://www.apple.com/ibook/ That's the one I have--a G3 600MHz model of the iBook. Am I using the wrong name for this color? I'm wondering now if the guy at MacTown thought I meant one of the old clam-shell type iBooks. --- Rex. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.
