    I'm curious as to which Power Adapter (Normal or Extended) people use for their laptop's. When I first bought my Macbook, I thought the shorter version was pretty neat and compact, but I've found out that it simply doesn't have a very good reach for most power plugs, so I'm stuck with the extended version. Which one do you use?

    Is it bad to only use the 2 prong adapter? I was going to ask this before. What good is a 3 prong?

    It is a ground. Which is why I use it. I want the ground to be there.

    Yeah, that grounded plug is a very good thing ... especially if you're recording music or whatnot.
