Does anyone know if there will be a problem using my Australian computer [with an English adapter] on English electricity. Someone has told me the electric might be on different #cycles# no idea what they were talking about ! ! !
Anyway, the power supply for all laptop computers will cope with just about any voltage/ cycles that you are ever likely to find
(but, different topic, does anyone remember when Port Sunlight had a DC power supply?)

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness
Parts of B'head (around Singleton Ave.) still had DC when I was at school. Changed to AC 50 cycles about 1960 (?) Presume Port Sunlight would change over about the same time. uh-oh OT !
I started with Unilever in 1964 and there was certainly a DC supply then to parts of the site. I think it "went" a couple of years later. The sockets around the place were either the old round pin 15 amp type or a weird Wylex type
