Hi,
I asked this question yesterday, but as an addendum to a not-really-
related topic, so it may have been overlooked.
I've just bought a Micro Accessories power adaptor for my pismo. It's
this one, from OWC:

This is sold as
The power rating simply indicates how much current the adapter can
supply without burning out. Using a higher-rated power supply is fine;
if anything, it will lead to fewer adapter heat problems.
Cheers,
Ben

When I bought my newest powerbook, the Genius at the Apple Store told
me that I could use any of the adaptors interchangeably with any of my

before I barbecue my Powerbook, can anyone confirm that?
No

No, no problem. Current and power, when indicated on the adapter
itself, are to be treated as maximum ratings (there's normally a bit
of wiggle room, though). So, the *actual* current and *actual* power
output will be determined by the load.

Laurent,
I have used both HP and Canon scanners, as well as others. From my
experience it depends on your use of the scanner. If you are using the
scanner occasionally for home level scans then HP scanners will work
great, however if you require more frequent usage and pro level
features, then

All i can tell you is that I've been told that if the iBook's HD makes
anymore noise than a light whirr it's dying or dead. Needs to be
serviced. Is it a G4 iBook? What I'm wondering is, is it new enough
to be covered under warranty, or does it have current applecare?
If so, take it in.
