But, yes,
we have those here -- I have a bunch of extras even though I tossed
many
cables a year or so ago. It got silly. Apple even makes them with a

the
cost.

ROFL, I remember those, I was told off once by an Apple nut for just
using a kettle lead. Apparently a lead capable of powering a 3kW
kettle
at 13A wasn't good enough for his precious mac. Then I pointed out
the
notch in it which indicated it was heat resistant and he shut up.

You mean the Apple ones are not magical?

Nope, it's all a big con by Jobs.... er.... whatever his new incarnation
is called.

Actually the cord is not $37 or something like that.

What is it then? Because most cords are much cheaper than that. In
fact at my last place of work I bought a job lot on Ebay for £50. About
400 of them. Did the same with SCART leads. I only needed about 10,
the other 390 I just sent a global email and placed them in a corridor
with a sign saying "please take one". They went fairly quick.

You can find them on the Apple Store as easily as I. Under $20... do not
remember.

Still way too much for a kettle lead.


I know I have never bought one (alone).
