I am also looking for that removable AC plug, but the one with round prongs... For the power outlets in continental Europe...

Apple sells World Travel Adapter Kit (six AC plugs with different prongs) for $39... I only need the round one, not all...

Any suggestions?

The "search" link above would have answered y'all's questions...

The $40 travel adapter kit or the Powerbook extension cord (something like $25) are the only solutions if you insist on the perfect fit and finish.

Otherwise, just walk into any local hardware store after you get off the plane and get an electric shaver cable for $2.

Slightly less elegant, but *much* better bang for the buck.

No, actually they are called duckheads. That's what the hinged plug design is called. It's available on many small AC adaptors these days, usually for cell phones.

Duckhead, never heard and to be honest its weird calling it a duck head.

The concensus seems to be that its weird to call it a duck head too.
