True. All of my chargers for things like portable music players or cell phones still have A plugs, though, even for things I've bought in the past year. > Incidentally I would be shocked if any visitor to the USA encounters an > A socket.

The only reason why I would be cautious here is that universities are notorious for having older buildings. Most of the places where I still see A sockets are in old university buildings or old apartment complexes. I agree that it's basically certain the dorms will have B sockets, but there's some minor chance that if you're in one of the venue buildings or some other university building and just want to sit down in the hall and plug in, you'll only have an A socket available there. This is all from someone who's never actually been at Columbia, though, so locals can of course provide much better information. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
