[Hidden-tech] Need to borrow a power cord for Mac G4

[Jeff Peck]

If you are referring to a PowerMac G4, you should be able to use any standard 3-prong power cord - the same kind that is used for most desktop computers, as well as many printers and many other devices (including guitar amps). You can probably find these at home depot for a few dollars. And it is likely that many people will have extras of these cables laying around somewhere. You can even check if your own devices (such as a printer) has such a cable, which you can temporarily use to plug in the G4.

This is what they look like:

If you are referring to a PowerBook G4, you may have a harder time finding a power cord, but this guide might help:

And then you can check on eBay or Amazon, if nobody here in Hidden Tech has one.
