If it helps, we have a 1 GHz 14" iBook and a 1.33 GHz 17" PB (that replaced
a 12" iBook 700) and we have swapped power adapters ever since there was
more than one 'Book in the house. (one is permanently situated at the couch
in the living room and the other is in the office downstairs) and have done
so for at least a year now (and more importantly, without any adverse
affects!)

Never looked at the output figures but it may just take longer with one than
the other...

This is with UK adapters though and they may be different than the ones
Apple provides in the US.

Hope this helps,

Richard
