A lot of other things (like laptops) does not have the grounding though, but all Power Book cables has had it. I don't know how my new iBook's plug is though. It came with the white square power supply that looks just like my Airport Express Base, but the guy I bought it from had lost the plug. He preferred a longer cord, so he used a standard power cord. Neat how they now use a standard power cord with the small standard plug so you can just buy any power cord at places like the Radio Shack... Do you know if you can buy the plug for the white adapter, without buying a whole new adapter? I'm guessing but I suspect the US cord that comes with the white PB power adapter is grounded for code reasons. Just why the wall wart adapter isn't ground, I don't know. But I suspect the reason for a standard power connector inside is so you can use a two wire cable with it, even if perhaps Apple can't sell it that way. -- 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...

I have the flying saucer power adapter with my WS and it has only two prongs and they are the same size, so that denies your theory On Apr 18, 2005, at 12:11 PM, Clark Martin wrote: I'm guessing but I suspect the US cord that comes with the white PB power adapter is grounded for code reasons.
