The power plug/jack interface is a well known weak spot in all such
applications. And there are no good ways around the problem that I know of. You
can leave the plug into the computer and take the connector loose at the power
brick. Or the maker could make an on-board power supply with a permanent cord.
But, that would add weight, complexity and expense. Like I said ...

      Title: Cracker Jack
 Categories: Snacks, Grains, Nuts
      Yield: 4 Quarts
 
      4 qt Popped popcorn
      1 c  Spanish peanuts
      4 tb Butter
      1 c  Brown sugar
    1/2 c  Light corn syrup (Karo)
      2 tb Br'er Rabbit molasses
    1/4 ts Salt
            
 
  Preheat the oven to 250oF/120oC.
  
  Combine the popcorn and peanuts in a metal bowl or on a
  cookie sheet and place in the preheated oven.
  
  Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a saucepan.
  
  Stirring over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
  
  Using a cooking thermometer, bring the mixture to the
  hard-ball stage (275oF/135oC, or the point at which the
  syrup, when dripped into cold water, forms a hard but
  pliable ball). This will take about 20 to 25 minutes (or
  until you notice the mixture turning a slightly darker
  brown).
  
  Remove the popcorn and peanuts from the oven and, working
  quickly, pour the caramel mixture in a fine stream over
  them. Then place them back in the oven for 10 minutes.
  
  Mix well every five minutes, so that all of the popcorn is
  coated.
  
  Cool and store in a covered container to preserve freshness.
  
  Makes 4 Quarts
