Dear notebookers and laptoppers, Thanks to Abdiel for reminding me of the plug issue! This is important for all of you that have strange plugs and sockets at home -- strange meaning different from ours of course :-) {german power outlets/plugs } In Germany it is 220V, 50Hz, and the plug looks like o o The distance between o and o may also be of importance ;-) { adapter specifications } There is a really great website where you can download pdf's giving the exact dimensions of any plug/adapter you can think of! http://www.internationalconfig.com/ { be prepared } Please make sure you got the right adapters before coming to Germany - there is no radio store or the like for miles around Haus Neuland! You might be able to get Adapter-Plugs (but probably no voltage transformers) at Frankfort Airport, but you should'nt rely on that too heavily... Cheers, Martin p.s. Alternatively you might bring 20 notebook batteries or a an inflatable power plant.
