The additional prong on a B plug is ground, which is mostly unnecessary with US wiring for most devices. It's common for US laptop power supplies to have an A plug. You can't be absolutely guaranteed to have a B plug available, so if you have the choice and you're talking about a laptop and not something like a hair drier, I would go with an A plug. That being said, any building whose electrical wiring has been built or rennovated in about the last forty years probably has B sockets. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
