The recall, issued Friday, affects cords for the PowerBook G3 notebooks
shipped from May 1998 until March 2000, but not those used for the iBook
consumer laptops or the newer Titanium PowerBook G4. Apple is providing a
free replacement power adapter.
Recall uses the serial number of the G3, nothing apparently on the adapter
needed.
