i rang them earlier, as i need a charger for an ibm t41, they really try to take it, they had one in stock, the good news, the price 139 euros, the bad news, this is a RIP OFF.

Had a similar experience elsewhere, went on ebay and picked one up for 12 quid instead!

The reason they say the chargers are so dear when they are challenged is because they do all makes of laptops and cost so much to produce. I think it's bull. As suggested ebay, you'll have it for a few days. Or see if pcw will give you a loan adapter. Doubt it though.
