This reminds me - if you buy a plug shape converter over here (US) for use in the UK, it will *not* be fused, and will work well. If you buy a converter in England, it will almost surely be the fuse kind, and will often be sold sans fuse. (This really had me stumped when I moved to England some years back.) Just a warning, in case the original poster decides to keep flight travel weight down by not buying one of the elephantine UK adapters until getting there. >be careful with the power converters, though. The poster should *not* buy a power converter; the stock 560 brick handles the Eurocurrent well (though I wonder if the higher current would decrease the long-term life span of a US-spec power brick). - David
