I find US and European outlets scary as heck, because they usually have no on/off switch. It's fairly rare to find an outlet int he UK without a on/off switch. The fuse will blow before the fuse in the fusebox at the mains dispatch board, so yeah, it does protect the device. This is ignoring any internal fuses that might exist in the device to protect US and European users ;-) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
