It's like a pipe, but the water stays still?

I do not get electricity. Luckily, that's not a prerequisite for purchasing and using it. Otherwise I would be in trouble. Can anybody help me with this?

I have a new laptop, with an AC adapter as listed below. I also have a spare AC adapter from another computer (but the same company), with slightly different specs. The connector is the same, so it's physically possible to plug in either one. What I want to know is, is it OK for me to plug in either one? I've been told by someone smarter than me that I should not. Just wondering why.

Because the amps are higher (the thing that makes things burn up)

But I've been told that it would actually work fine, it's just not recommended. I've heard similar things about lower amps too. What would actually happen to the computer?

It's probably fine. All I know is more amps=more ouchy when we are talking about electrocution.

Maybe test it on the computer of someone you don't like?

Haha -- that was also suggested! :)
