Hello PB listers:
My Apple 45W Power Adapter wire is starting to break at the point where the
wire enters the plug that attaches to the back of the G3 Pismo. Can this be
repaired, or do I need an entirely new Power Adapter?
If I need a new one, where do I go?

No. Macs always try to eject discs (well, floppies at least) at shut

One way to be certain is to shut down your Mac, stick the disk in the
