Hi Brian,
I run the maintenance department for a health care facility and work
on a lot of computerized equipment. In almost every maintenance
publication for equipment with external power supplies, the guidance
is to connect the "brick" to the equipment and then to the AC
service. The logic is that plugging an energized connector into the
equipment =could= (=could=, mind you) cause a small arc sending a
voltage spike through the equipment. A small possibility, but not one
that I want to risk.
Now then... I've done it both ways and never had a problem, but when
I have choice, the AC is connected last.
Just my $.02 worth,
Amanda

If I move it from one place to another, I am conscientiously
unplugging it
and re plugging it in correct sequence rather than just carrying it
with the
power lead and brick connected and then replugging the plug into
the wall
while still connected.
I just want to check out if this is over paranoid behaviour or not?
I mean the manual suggests not to move the Powerbook while on but
people do
- but carefully - right?
all the best
Brian
