Yes this is safe. But you need to purchase the right parts to make this work. I would recommend talking with the electrical department at Home Depot or Menards for something like this. The easiest and safest way will be to buy some stranded 10/3 wire (be warned, they charge an arm and a leg for this) and a junction box. Join the longest cord you can get to the 10/3 in the junction box using standard wiring devices. Then run the 10/3 to the dryer.

A longer cord may not allow the dryer to work to its full potential (ie longer to dry clothes) because of the voltage and current drops. Better to have the outlet moved.

You can purchase a Petra 90-1028 3-wire dryer cord, 10 foot 30amp that should work okay.

Can a MacBook Pro be hooked up to an Escient S80?

If you have an older Mac that came with MacOSX 10.4.11 then yes, other wise it most likely will not work.Escient is no longer selling branded products so your product is no longer supported above OSX 10.4.11.They do still have their support site up and running but is no longer updating the software past MacOSX 10.4.11 and Windows XP. So any newer Mac will not work.You cannot "downgrade" your minimum Operating system on the Mac (installing an older, lower numbered OS). If your Mac came brand new with OSX10.6 then you cannot install 10.5 or 10.4, if it does install it will either be extremely buggy or won't boot at all.
