Re: [Thinkpad] Power outlet

Never saw one with a bend, as you describe. Might be because I don't run
into Apples all that often.

The three wire cords I've replaced came from Radio Shack.
They label them as for Compaq laptops. Think I paid five dollars or so.
These cords have a "three circle" termination on the device end.
