I tend to use my iBook sitting up on the bed, and since my son was 
born, I've had an annoying tendancy to trip over the cord (and stress 
it at the jack) when I tend to him at night. (That doesn't happen so 
much these days, since I got a new battery and I'm less likely to use 
the iBook plugged in.) It doesn't help that this is the spot in the 
cable that seems the most succeptable to stress.
