It was basically – you have 2 hours until you can no longer use this computer – just as a deadline was approaching – not good.
Having options wouldn’t have been a bad thing.

One of my office mates picked up a knock off 60W for $US35(ish) last week, definitely not up to Apple quality as far as the outer plastic goes but otherwise is fine. Cable was the same quality, as was the magsafe connector but the duckbill was upside down so it takes up 2 plug spaces.
