I was wondering where I could get the small white two pronged plugs that connect the ac adaptor to the wall, and the cable that also works in the same place. I lost mine, and would like to replace them.

The easiest way to get the direct plug (which Apple bizarrely calls a "duckhead") is to buy the World Travel Adapter Kit, which includes all the duckheads they make, including one each of the U.S. and Chinese plugs, both of which will work in a U.S. outlet.

That's the easiest way. The cheapest way is probably to ask someone -- a lot of people don't use them and might be willing to part with it for cheap/free. (Especially people who bought the World adapter kit, since it replicates the one they already have!)

As for the cord: have an Apple service provider order it as a service part. It shouldn't be terribly expensive, if Apple's power cord prices for previous models are any indication (probably about $10, plus the service provider's markup).

I actually have a spare if you need. A sliver of the edge was starting to peel off and so the guy at the Apple Store just gave me a new one.

Might give the Apple Store a shot if that's an option...if not shoot me a PM or email and I can send you the one I have.
Are those free-ranged animal crackers?
