That's what my friend barry says too, but I'm just not a trusting soul when it 
comes to electronics.  I'm not sure at all that I want to trust my $2500 
macbook pro to a $2 piece of equipment that may just barely meet regulatory 
standards.  Plus I'd like to get as many of my devices as possible running on 
UK plugs with as few pieces as possible.  Mainly we are looking at macbook, mp3 
player, braille display and cellphone, but maybe others.

Best,
