I am now on my third cord on my just-over-a-year-old PowerBook.  I got 
the newer, 65W, grounded one, which is thicker.  Thus far, I haven't 
even unwound it -- I'm using it exclusively with the thick A/C cord so 
as to reduce wear and tear on the block cord itself.  Winding and 
unwinding several times a day, everyday takes its toll, so I'm being 
extra cautious this time around (and since it's on my dime...)
