A Mac user in distress:
"my girlfriend and I are on vacation here in korea now and she has left her power cable for her mac laptop at home. we have been desperately searching for a replacement (it's the old style of power cable - round, non-magnetic) without much luck - it's been almost impossible to find a mac center here in korea, we;ve been to the electronics district, all over and are a bit desperate to find something. do you possibly know anywhere we could look to find a replacement? or an online seller in korea that could ship it overnight?"
I would refer to this post ("Where to Get Your Mac On") and get down to the JR Mac Center and see if they can help you out. They've been nothing but nice to me, super professional and frank, and they know what the hell they're talking about. They're the kind of people who might be able to "work something out."
Otherwise, any readers got suggestions – or an extra power cable?
