"...I'll check our home bins, and, if not, spouse likely has an old cord at his work."
I was running life drawing at Daydreamer Coffee last night and they swung by to hand deliver the exact laptop cable.

LIBRARIANS FOR THE WIN!!!
I crushed my laptop charger. Found zilch at Goodwill. My non-online-shopping-butt ordered one from Newegg, but, oops: 12 day shipping.
