- Gary, I found that a MacPortable was somewhat "immune" to the power-source
- differences, when I spent a year in England, recently. I would think that
- a PowerBook would be useful wherever the input voltage/freq is 100-240V AC and
- 50/60 Hz. Because the PowerBook uses a battery with an AC Adapter, the friend
- in Ghana would have a built-in power transformer with this type of machine
- (provided the input voltage and frequency is roughly in the range shown above).
-
- This system was useful to me, anyway.
