Dangerous Apple Power Adapters?

An anonymous reader writes "Even with all these exploding Dell notebooks and other notebook safety problems, Apple has seemed relatively immune. Every once in a while, some odd thing came along, but it seemed like relatively calm waters. Not anymore — Apple's notebook power adapters appear to be the source of some serious safety concerns. Every iBook and PowerBook user should read this and keep a close eye on their adapter — the adapters suffer from very poor design including wires that seem prone to short out and burn and zero short circuit protection."

I was fully intending to buy a new laptop at the end of the summer. I was thinking a lot about buying mac. Or dell maybe. Now I've been reading how bad all these laptops are and that gives me three choices; Stop reading slashdot Don't by a laptop Please help me! I don't want to stop reading slashdot but I really need a new computer. Not buying a laptop would eventually result in not reading slashdot anyway. My screen is already a bit rotten in the upper corner. What to buy when laptops suck? I already have access to 3 stationary computers at home and at least one at school. Maybe I should just buy a small truck and set up a rolling computer?
