bringing G4 overseas; power issues?

Hi, all. Brand, spanking new mac user here... so new, I don't even have the unit yet. Just ordered the 17" G4 and will have it for next week. My question:

I will be visiting family overseas, and I figure the 2 weeks off from work would make the perfect time to adjust to the whole mac world. I purchased it (and live in) the US. Can I plug in my Mac in England and Portugal using a simple adapter for my power supply (the kind of adapter you plug your AC into, then plug the adapter into socket), or will this fry my mac? Do I need a whole other type of AC?

Thanks.

Love these boards.

If you look at the Apple laptop adapter, you'll see
100-240V
50/60Hz
Meaning, it'll take line power almost anywhere in the world. You just need a plug that fits the wall socket. Apple sells the whole set as a $40 "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit," but you might could find them individually (eBay, or maybe beg at an Apple Store either here or in the UK.)

Well that was simple enough. Thanks, Technologist.

hey, you may wanna check this site out. they are cheap and ship fast.

Apple also sells them at the apple store if U have 1 nearby.

Or just get a simple adapter that plugs on top of the regular one for $2 at your nearest electronics store.
