New FastMac power adapter for old laptops

FastMac has announced a new power adapter in its TruePower line specifically targeted at older laptops that Apple may no longer support. The 65W AC adapter plugs into both clamshell iBooks and G3 PowerBooks, serving as a dual-voltage (100/240V) power source with an extended 10-foot cable for reaching difficult power sockets. FastMac's latest power accessory recharges the lithium ion battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode, and can also power a computer without a battery. The adapter features a built-in LED light to indicate activity, and comes with a 30-day refund guarantee and a one-year warranty. FastMac is already selling the adapter for $36.

The ClamShell iBooks and G3 PowerBooks do not need 65w. The newer Aluminum G4 PowerBooks do require 65w, but the connector has a smaller diameter than the plug for the earlier models. This seems like a mismatch of specs to product use.
