A friend of mine is moving to Australia in December.  The Australian
dollar, being what it is, makes it economical to buy some things
here in the states rather than waiting till he's there.  Is it
possible to buy a Mac here and be able to use it in Canberra without
too much hassle?  The voltage, of course, is different -- is it possible
to used a voltage converter, or is there some way to fix up the
Mac to run off 240V?

Or should he wait and spend the extra $$$ in Australia?
Any helpful hints, useful information, etc should be mailed to
me at:

no matter what it says at the top of this posting  (I don't know if
our SysAdm fixed this bug yet)


Thanks!!
