Thanks for your explanation. If you travel you lap top, the most likely problem for you to encounter is a socket to plug your Danish Schuko type of plug. Once I returned to Brazil, my PC -bought in Sweden with Swedish keyboard- is just to plug (in a extension cord with the right sockets) worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, in Sweden they only sell 230V 50hz AC appliances. The TV, which in the world we have NTSC, SECAM PAL and it innumerous PALs N, I D K etc) is 110/220 50/60Hz. But I needed a transcoder to connect the Brazilian PAL-M. Imagine we had computers like TVs. It would be a nightmare. Oh, by the way, my GSM phone doesn't work with the TDMA and CDMA that operators have here in Curitiba. My cable TV decoder also doesn't work with the CATV system of this country. Computer is the universal machine. Perhaps it has some problem, but as an user, I'm insulated form them.
