Will Apple replace my broken power adapter?

Well, technically it's not "broken." The other day, my white brick power adapter for my Powerbook had one of the clips break off. The other is on the verge of the same. Will Apple replace it? The technical functionality is still fine, but I have lost functionality that was there before. I don't know if they will buy that. Will they simply say it's a result of "abuse" even though I have used it in a reasonable way?

I ask this question here first because perhaps you guys have had the same problem or something. My Powerbook is still under warranty, but I'm past the 90-day tech support window and without Applecare, they make you pay for a support call if it's not a warranty issue. I do plan to buy the Applecare before my year is up, but just don't have the funds right now.

Thanks in advance.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
