Maybe I'm late to the call, (been on vacation) but the other night my powerbook G3 A/C adaptor started getting hot and smelling of burnt electronics. Fried and REALLY HOT black piece of apple plastic!!! Glad it was on a tile floor, because it left a mark on the tile and if it would have been on carpet might have been a fire hazard. Anyway, I get back from vacation last night and start hunting for a replacement when I went to apple web site. There is a CPSC recall on powerbook A/C adaptors that have been put out for the last 2 or 3 years. If you have one of black rectangle types, I suggest you go to Apple's site where you can check whether yours is recalled or not and if eligible for the free replacement. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
