hehe.
The apple power cord is really cool. It winds up into a little circular shaped apple power supply - trust me youll love it. I got a surprise when i first saw it, its way better than your standard laptop ac power supply which is just a black box with a loose cord.\
This thing is pretty cool.....

Well... it could be cooler 
Actually,when I first heard that it was a wind up cord, I assumed that it automatically wound up... just tug on the end of the cord, and it rolled up back into the case.
Then I actually saw one... big disappointment. In addition, you still have the power cable that connects into the adapter via a mickey mouse shaped connector. Very weird.
If was in charge of things (which I'm not, but let's pretend...) I would've combined the two into a single device. Combined with the auto-wind feature, that would make a very slick power adapter... and give me one less thing to have to put away when I pack up my iBook

when you get it becareful. I thought it was more sturdy then it was and accually dropped it a couple of times by mistake with one end of the cord in hand still. It unraveled and frayed the cord on the inside plus the way I used it at work it was connected at an awkward angle and ended up with a nasty sparking short.

Speak the truth, jlbanker.
I bought my Original Blueberry in October 99. Since then I have gone through 2 wind up adapters and 1 power cord. The cord actually shorted and melted a hole through. When trying to replace it, Apple first sent me another wind-up. It's a pain, but a nice design. I wish it wasn't so flimsy though.
