I've got one of each of the auto adapters and am happy with both. They are more convenient than an inverter. The adapter for the newer models seems to have taken a price jump recently but it's still cheaper than elsewhere. http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGYStore_Code=MTOSCategory_Code=ACCACAUTOADPT -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Auto adapter revised
Kensington and iGo make several adapters and plug ends for your PB. Also check out the accessories which connect PDAs, cell phones, iPods, etc. Deaner On May 18, 2005, at 6:45 PM, w miller wrote: I just checked the plugs on the G4 power adapter and the G3 auto adapter. They aren't the same size, so I guess I've answered my own question. Does anyone make an adapter for the G4 aluminum right now? The SmartDisk is supposed to be available at the end of the month, but there's no mention of it that I can find on their Web site. Willi -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Auto adapter revised
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.
