Anyone have an old Mac power cord?
Early this year I was walking to school and found an old Mac SE lying next to a building. Intrigued, I picked it up and took it with me. After carrying it around all day (which probably made me look very strange to students: I was TAing and holding my first set of conferences that day with a Powerbook on the desk and a Mac SE on the floor next to me) I was able to find an old Mac whose mouse, keyboard and power cord I borrowed. Sure enough, the SE worked and I was able to try an ancient version of Word.
Over the months I've been able to acquire a mouse and a keyboard from various people, but I'm still missing a power cord. I'd love to play around with System 6 a bit (which I've only used previosly for Telneting into my e-mail; my own first Mac ran 7.something). So I'm wondering if anyone out there has an old power cord they'd be willing to send me (to Canada) for free or dirt cheap.

Old Mac, new Mac, PC, monitor, whatever.... they all use the SAME power cord.

Well, that should make my hunt far easier; I'm pretty sure I can find an old PC power cord lying around somewhere at school.
