2005-07-21 Thread diane
Any recommendations on an adapter to use my iBook in the car? I see that Linksys has one that will actually allow you to plug a 2 or 3-prong plug into it, while others (APC was one that I saw) just allows you to plug the ibook into the lighter. The APC one is $40 while the others were $80.
