<p> <strong>Apple</strong> has agreed to pay <strong>refunds of $25 to $79</strong> to more than <strong>2 million Mac owners</strong> to resolve claims that some of its power adapters were prone to spark.</p>
<p> Nice to see cash actually going to the consumers who suffered through this, not to the lawyers who brought the suit.  We've all been there before, eh?</p>
<p> The 2006 class-action suit alleged that Apple misrepresented problems with the power adapters. In 2001, Apple recalled about 570,000 adapters sold with <strong>PowerBooks</strong> after reports of overheating.  Apple advised customers to stop using the adapters and offered free replacements.</p>
