I was at my local dealer's today, and something came up that he didn't have an answer for. Why are all Mac LC's being shipped with _2_ power cords? Anybody out there have any idea? E-mail please. Mike Spurgeon P.O. Box 1 Athens OH 45701 Internet: mspurgeo@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu

Instead there was a note listing specifications of the power cord that the customer, after spending like $4500 for a LW IINTX, needed to buy on their own. Maybe Apple found these "lost" cords and decided to get rid of them? Heh heh. Tony Chi tchi@usc.edu How should I know, I just work here...

Box 1 >Athens OH 45701 >Internet: mspurgeo@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu I asked this question to one of the LC team members in the Apple booth at MacWorld Expo last month. I managed to "stump the band." They made a phone call and came back with an answer. The second cord is supplied to support the 13" monitor which comes with the special cord for the II series. David
