Yes, switching th entire system (and all the apps included from Apple)
to French is a simple matter of selecting it in the International panel
in System Preferences.
And yes, I think the power supply is universal on laptops. They are
meant to be taken on trips, right?
The only obstacle I can think of is the keyboard layout, which probably
differs from France to the US
Hello all,
My aunt is here from France and she would like to buy a comparatively
inexpensive laptop to take back with her.
She doesn't speak any English and my mastery of French has declined
severly
since I arrived here in '76.
Anyhow, she's obviously looking at XP 'books but when I mentioned to
her that
there are no viruses (yet) for OSX, her eyes lit up.
What I need to know is:
Will the laptop's power supply be able to handle the change in
voltage? (I
already know she'll have to buy one of those prong converters for
Europe)
If she buys a Powerbook or iBook, will she be able to change the
operating
system's language without completely reinstalling the OS?
Those are the two major obstacles I can think of.
