Does anybody in the Chicago area know where I can get a power cord for a clamshell iBook ASAP??

(Don't tell me to look online--I don't have that much battery time left! Nor do I have two days to wait for it to come in the mail.)

ETA: OK, it still works if I hold it at a certain angle. Got it taped down, so it's recharging. Grrrr. Still need new one ASAP! Why is everything I own rubbish? --Ron Weasley.

ETA2: Just ordered one over the phone from some guy in Michigan whose site I found at Low End Mac, THE go-to site for us junkyard apples. Cross fingers my current one doesn't die before it gets here, because if it does, I am up SHIT CREEK.

I might have a perfectly functional desktop Apple that I can smuggle bring you next month, if you'd like a home unit to go with the laptop? That doesn't help the current issues, I know, sorry ... 8P

Ooooo, thanks for the offer! But my laptop is my home unit...it's great, in an apartment this size, with a router cord as long as the one I've got, even without wireless I can surf the web in the living room, in the kitchen, in bed...:D (Theoretically even in the bath, but that seems profoundly unwise.) I'm so used to it I don't know what I'd do with a desktop model now. They take up so much space.

You're most welcome! (I wonder if Merlin would like it? Hmmm.) The beastie in question was a gift/castoff from lartist, but I am seriously not Mac-literate.

And handing a computer over to my fascinated-but-non-computer-literate Dad that I can't teach him nor reliably troubleshoot was, in retrospect, sheer folly. So at the moment, it's not even taking up so much space usefully. 8P
