Power brick buzz

[Jim Lucas]

I finally (accidentally) tracked down radio interference in my office 
to the power brick for my PowerBook 180c, which was in use in a 
different part of my office. When the brick is plugged in to the PB, 
it makes a buzz on the radio worse than any florescent light ever 
made! It's an angry buzz! Unplug it from the PB (but leave it plugged 
in the wall) and the buzz stops. The buzz also seems to get worse 
when I power up the PB. I found out the PB was the culprit when I 
brought it into my main office and the radio went crazy with noise! 
Otherwise, it was tolerable if I turned the radio just so. What gives?

Also, off topic, I need a power cable that plugs into the back of a 
desktop Mac. It's the kind that allows one to plug a monitor into the 
desktop, so when the desktop is shut off, it cuts power to the 
monitor. It has a strange looking male end that looks like it would 
plug into the typical female end of a power cord because that is what 
the plug-in on the back of the desktop looks like (female). I have a 
Performa 6116, if that helps. What do I look for on eBay, or does one 
of you have one for sale? Answer me off list for this one if you 
please.
