OK, now why do the power supplies for my PowerBook keep burning out? I’m obviously computing beyond the normal safety parameters.

Now here’s the question … do I anticipate that this $60 power supply is a lost cause and go buy a new one before my battery drains completes (already down to 34%), or do I wait to see if giving it a chance to cool down (the transformer is really hot to the touch and features the delightful smell of burnt plastic/metal) will bring the poor thing back to life.

You’re right — get a new one. If the other one comes back to life, I can always use one at work to keep me fully charged where ever I take the computer.
