Issue tracking?

Barrel jacks for power are very common.  So are 5V/3A DC wall warts with barrel plugs.

It's simple, economical, mature technology, and parts are widely available.

Just to be clear, I was not saying that connecting the PBP to two different power sources at the same time would damage the computer.  It's possible that the necessary safeguards are in place, but there is no point in taking that risk in the first place.
