Power Adapter tip fix

Power Adapters
I loved what they did with the power cord plug-in on the new "Powerbook Pro." I have had Kensington adapters break off inside before. Now it cannot happen. If it does happen to anyone by the way.

"Power off, unplug and remove your battery completely, until the object is removed through the hole that it went in." Any short means a new logic board. Use gravity, toothpicks, and very thin tweezers.
