Here in New Zealand it appears that the Mac Classic will be 240V only. I
found this out at the launch of the new macs when out of curiosity I checked
the back of a Classic. I questioned the guys from Apple and got the same
answer about keeping costs down.

For a lot of academic staff I know, the advantage of the SE was that it was
fairly portable and they could use it anywhere in the world. Now you have
to have an SE/30 or Mac Portable if you travel the world alot.
