Re: Got my PowerBook!
Yes, that's what I've been doing for years when travelling the US and Europe. You just need the part that goes into the wall and then into the brick (or Yo-Yo). Usually black, though. Not if you use the cable from AirPort Extreme Base Station. :) Marcin Wichary e:\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] w:\ www.aci.com.pl/mwichary Attached w:\ www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/GUIdebook Graphical User Interface gallery w:\ www.10yearsofbeingboring.com 10 years of Being Boring -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Got my PowerBook!
Well, at least sort of. I picked it up -- love the box, the packaging, the manuals, the design... but I ordered the British model and it came with British AC plug, which is incompatible with Dutch sockets. The battery's drained, so I can't use it yet. :I I completely forgot about this issue, although I partially blame people at the shop. Today's too late, tomorrow I will try to exchange the power adapter (or can you just buy a new set of two European plugs? the old set might be useful as I intend to visit Great Britain later this year).

All you need is a plug adapter. The Mac adapts itself. on 7/2/04 1:42 PM, Marcin Wichary at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, at least sort of.
