Anyone else's Magsafe starting to fray? It's at the usual spot (where the cord hits the part that plugs into the computer). I would think after the yo-yos and then the older white bricks ***ALL*** having had this problem, that Apple would have made some design changed. This isn't even two months old yet!

Anyone else?
MacBook Pro 15" -- 2.2Ghz, 4GB, 200GB 7200rpm
iPod Nano 2G -- 8GB

Mine broke anad frayed after 2 months with my Macbook. I ordered my Macbook over the internet but took it to the Apple store when I had this problem. The manager gave me some guff saying, "This looks more like abuse, the way these are designed, it is meant to take all stress off this point". I kept my cool and said that even if that is so, it isnt abuse, because I have done nothing to cause extra and/or added stress to this part. He said that he would replace it this once, but the next time I would have to buy a new charger.

I'm just glad there's more than one apple store in my town.

I'm having trouble visualizing this, can you take a picture. Is it the end that plugs into the computer or into the white brick?
