Actually I'm more concerned with availability than with price. Does
anyone know of a source for original power adaptors?
I wouldn't use a Radio Shack one -- I work for a company that does some
electronic manufacturing and I know where to get very high quality
power adapters with good voltage regulators. Still, I'd rather use an
original one, so if any one has any leads please let me know!
