The original press release said the Classic and LC had the universal power
supplies, but the spec sheets at the Stanford Bookstore say otherwise. A real
blow to frequent travellers and international shoppers (maybe this way Apple
gets to mainain their huge price differential between Europe and the US?).

Does anyone know if there is an internal adjustment for voltage, or does the
power supply have to be swapped?
