I think the potential issue is that the power adaptor take some moments of time to stabilise it output (?) I skimmed a whole load of www.macintouch.com Powerbook reports and I think it was in there. I bet most folk just plug it any how - but then I read of System admins at schools etc commenting on the high failure rates of the power adaptors and wonder how important it really is. Thought I'd sound out and find either some tech info or user accounts of problems etc all the best Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
