A love-hate relationship with my Apple power adapter

I love my Apple power adapter (wow, thats sounds realllly weird :) doesn’t it?). It’s got magnets and all you know! (for those who are not into computers: the power adapter had a magnetic connector that keeps it attached to the computer instead of you having to ‘plug’ it in). Even if after a few beers (or more) I stumble over the power cord (which happens about five times a week), I don’t ruin my Mac. It’s simply great!

I also hate my Apple power adapter (okay, that’s sounds a little more normal). You can exchange the part that goes into the wall socket for different (international) ones. Of course this is a smart thing to do, but then you always have to remember to put the original one back in place when you get back home. Now I have two power adapters, so I don’t forget one when I head to a client (it’s always in my bag), but I don’t always keep those little what-’should-we-call-it’s with me so occasionally I have to deal without an adapter for a while.

Sometimes that doesn’t always work however… Today I had to do some serious speeding again to drive back home after my morning appointment to pick my power adapter (or rather, the European part that goes into the power socket) and be in time for my afternoon appointment. Afterall, I wouldn’t want my laptop to die down in the middle of a presentation would I :). I hope the camera on the A9 was out of film…

p.s. If anyone can tell me what this adapter-adapter-thing is called, please tell me!
p.p.s. I was kidding about those five times a week, just in case you were wondering… :)
