It's a bit ungainly compared to Apple's tiny connector, but it's a lot more robust. Incidentally, <a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/05/apple-sued-over-reputed-fire-hazard-of-magsafe-power-adapter.ars">some people are taking their complaints further</a> and I wouldn't worry about warranties having expired if you're having the frayed-cable problem.

I've had a couple of problems and like you the first time it was replaced without question (in all fairness it did catch fire) but the replacement has now come away from the casing and needs replacing, it is well out of warranty so it looks like it's going to be a case of buying a new one and having seen your article I'm interested in getting one of their pre installed powerpacks.
