I got a video adapter for TV and S-Video, but not for VGA. Do I have to buy the VGA adapter separately?

What is the "other" power cord that was in the box. It doesn't appear to plug in to anything.

I believe you just plug the cable running from a VGA-equipped display straight into the VGA-out on the side of 12" PB, right?

And that "other" power adapter is simply there to lengthen the power cube that's already there if you'd like; see where the prongs flip out? Pull on that, it'll come off, and you plug it in there.

Assasyn: no.

The VGA adapter looks similar to the s-video composite video adapter, and both should have been in the 12" PowerBook box.

The long cord attaches to the power brick instead of the short prongs that fold down, so that you have a longer length AC adapter overall.
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

There was no VGA adapter in the box. I was surprised, because I hadn't seen anyone mention that it need to be purchased separately.

Thanks for the correction man, and definitely call Apple and let them know; it should've been included.
