I used the YoYo from my Ti-500 to power my (2003-current) Al-book,  
until it died earlier this year (around it's 7th birthday).
My wife has a (2004) iBook which shares the same power supplies as me.

All of our original "white squares" are on their way out/just hanging  
in there...... so

I bought two replacements from an eBay store, Suntek.
They came quickly (~one week), and I am very pleased with them.

APPLE 65W G4 POWERBOOK AC POWER SUPPLY Adapter A1021

fixed price $23.88 (+postage)

I plan to buy a third one from them soon.

The advantage of this kind of power supply, with a separate cord, is  
that you can have a figure-of-8 cable for each region you might travel  
to.
I have one (2-pin plug) for the Continent, 3-square pin for UK, two- 
flat pin for North America.....

regards,  Trevor
