These Apple power supplies come with a cord to replace the little block. Swap, done. No odd hanging mass from the wall; I get to choose where the brick lies. Perhaps this Blockhead is a convenience item, but not at $20. Not even at $35 for

I'm pretty certain they're taxed on the money simply because it crosses a border. It's not treated as revenue which can be offset by expenses.

I'm certainly willing to concede that I'm wrong (I'm by no means an expert), but your advice is counter to what I've received from professionals. I'm curious whether you've run into this problem with others in
