I was just reading more on Amazon.com about the adapter I have. One guy bought his at Best Buy, returned it when it stopped working, then the next one failed too, and a third one. What a huge hassle! So far I have no complaint about the netbook though. It's an amazing little thing and it has great battery life. Mike
