My house is old and has few 3 prong outlets. I keep losing the adapters I buy and this allows me to plug in and still not have to sit right next to the outlet. Thanks for this.

My MacBook Pro (2007 model) looks great, but is a lot less hard-wearing than my Vaio TX (made in late 2005). I'm waiting for the MBP to come back from Apple (graphics chip failed). Meanwhile this Vaio has been running perfectly for nearly 4 years. I guess with the new Macs having plenty of black on them this mod would help to make the adapter match the computer! :P
