Inverters work, but are a clunky solution at best. Auto adapters for laptops are a bit pricey, but are also sleek and compact, and usually have interchangeable tips so you can use them on your current PowerBook and also on whatever you might be using next year.
There are also for a bit more $$ universal adapters that work on AC AND DC. I have the Kensington and leave the car cord in my glove box and carry the adapter in my PowerBook case with the AC cord attached. This also has interchangeable tips, so I can also use it with my ThinkPad when I plan on gaming on the road.

It's much cheaper to buy a small 120v AC inverter than fits your lighter plug that's larger wattage than your regular wall charger and then use your regular charger in the car. Sam's Club has 70-watt inverters for $13.24 each. You can also use other AC devices such as mobile phone chargers or GPS or iPod, etc. See: http://tinyurl.com/8onkt -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
