ChargerChecker 0.2 On-screen notification when your laptop's charger is connected or disconnected
With the release of the MacBook Pro, Apple also introduced a brand new power adapter that uses the MagSafe connector. Â While this innovative new feature can save your laptop from being jerked off the table by a careless passer-by, many people have complained that their power adapter becomes unplugged inadvertently without them ever knowing it. Â This can be a huge problem when you pull your laptop out in the airport to put the finishing touches on your upcoming presentation only to find that it was mistakingly unplugged and the battery is completely dead.
ChargerChecker is a small app that works in conjunction with Growl to give you an on-screen notification when your laptop's charger is connected or disconnected. Â After installing Growl use the Accounts pane in your System Preferences to add ChargerChecker to your login items and never worry about a discharged battery again.

System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Apple Laptop (the Intel based ones especially, because of the magnetic power connection)

UnPlugged is an application to notify when the power cord of the Mac is unplugged or plugged in. Notifications are done using Growl, or with a Alertwindow, when Growl is not installed.
This App is done with Cocoa and doesn't use as much RAM and CPU usage as the other tools available.
Usage Hints:
• to quit option-click the notification, or when you're not using Growl hit the quit button in the Alertpanel
• to see the notification disconnect or reconnect your power cord
New in version 1.2:
• Linked to 10.3.9 as well so it should work there, too.
