New Power Adapter

[xy14]

Hi - my grandma was a big moron today and busted my power adapter, leaving me with approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes left of computer life until I get a new one. Does anyone know where you can get a wicked cheap power adapter? I really dont have much money and can't afford an $80 one from Apple.

I have bought this one myself. Might not look good, but it works.

How can you break a power adapter?
Those things are pretty solid little blocks for the most part. The best I've ever managed to do was break one of the clips to wrap the wire around off.

tripping over the cord will pull it out of the mac and bend the connector, I've more than once "fixed" these items, or opened the brick and re-wired the connection inside the brick-annoying

there really isn't a cheap alternative.

How..

My grandmother, aka Graceful, walked over the cord, and somehow wedged it between her toes. Then, she pulled forward, ripping the ring around the headphone-looking thing that you plug into the computer. She also managed to make a 20? bend on the headphone-looking thing.
