Can I use the power adaptor from a MacBook (the last white plastic one) with a MacBook air? The MacBook adaptor is rated at 15A, while the Air's adaptor is 10A. Will the Air just draw the power it needs, or will it endanger it or the power adaptor to use the higher-rated one?

Looking for good composition software on Mac. No actual recorded tracks- it'd be all Kurzweil PC-88 inputted MIDI.
