i love apple...but come on!

i tripped over my mac book power cord last week and the plastic covering was pulled away a bit from the magnetic port. over the past few days it gradually got worse from normal use until yesterday when i noticed that it wouldn't continue charging for more than a few minutes and when it did work, the cord got so hot that it could have started a fire. crap!

i went online to order a new one...get this...$79.00!!! for a silly power cord...$79.00!

but what can i do. i need it. i was going to hit up the bay for one. there's a new one currently running $21.00 but it still has 3 days left in the auction...not only could it go up in price but i'd also have to wait at least a week to get it. ugh! $79 bucks for power. silly apple. i love you, but why do you have to be so darn expensive? you don't need the dough! give back to the little folks, will ya?!?!

i made a trip to best buy today and handed over $79. i wasn't happy. but i have power again. note to self: remember to be very cautious around the power cord! please!
