Claim:
1. A power adapter, comprising: a power adapter body; a power circuit contained within the power adapter body; and a power cord terminated by a plug, the power cord being electrically connected to the power circuit and extending away from the power adapter body, wherein the power adapter body comprises a surface defining a recess configured to enable the plug to be removably received within the recess and to enable a portion of the power cord extending away from the power adapter body to be folded back on itself and to protrude from the power adapter body and also to be removably received within the recess such that the received plug and the received portion of the power cord do not protrude from the power adapter body, and wherein as the portion of the power cord is folded back on itself and the plug removably received within the recess, a first segment of the power cord initially located a first distance along the power cord from the power adapter body is caused to face a second segment of the power cord located at a second distance along the power cord from the power adapter body, the second distance being smaller than the first distance.
