Icky. My guess is that the laptop won't work after the adapter is bought. I have no solid ground to stand on, but Toshiba's track record aint good around here. I used one to code last year, and something was wrong with its serial port so that i would have to unplug the RC after I loaded the program. It was a small nuisance until I needed to debug... Also, my dad's toshiba (different from previous computer i complained of) had an odd problem with it. Occassionally it would BSOD and wouldnt reboot unless i pulled the power and took the battery out. My dad was teaching a group of toshiba engineers ( he does statistics for businesses ) and they told him that his particular model had 2 clocks, which may have been a fraction of a cycle out of sync, causing a processor level fubar-ing. Sorry if i offended any toshiba fans, but I just wanted to give a heads up from my experiences.
