So far the best solution I've seen is the AC adapter for my G4 Powerbook, a sleek combo yoyo/flying saucer; but while it looks good on the desktop, it still makes too big of a bulge in my case when I travel. Now engineers at Penn State are working on a real solution. Hope Apple gets this technology in place in time for the G5 Powerbook."

Big deal. I've had these Starcom toys for years with no batteries or adapters.

Only question I haven't yet answered is... could they run Linux?

Why marked a troll?

[Anonymous Coward]

or are moderators protecting Apple from the truth?

Re:Why marked a troll?

[Anonymous Coward]

It was marked as a troll because certain computer users are unhappy with anything short of dewy-eyed admiration of their platform. I'm not mentioning any names so perhaps this will escape their notice.

*MOD ABUSE ALERT*

This is a legimiate and on-topic post, yet it was censored beacuse a moderator with an agenda (read: a Mac zealot) decided that the truth should not be read by others.

Re:A _Real_ Solution...

A Real Solution would be to move the power supply inside the computer. However, that would require that the computer meet UL safety requirements.
