Changing countries is even simpler; just replace the cable that goes from the wall-socket to the "cover-leaf" IEC C7 or "figure-of-8" IEC C5 socket on the PSU. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_connector I carry a single Europlug->Modified C5 cable for both laptops and electric shaver---considerably smaller than the suppiled cables and easier to force into more socket types (all of Europe + British 13Amp with a pen{,knife}). -Paul -- Why do one side of a triangle when you can do all three.
