[slim] BOOM to Spain

2011-03-23 Thread HeavyB

U.S. resident is going to be in Spain (in one location) for a little
over a month and would like to take one of my Booms along to keep me
company.  I hope to be able to use the local wireless network but will
bring cable for ethernet in case network setup is dicey.  

I see that logitech offers an adapter but there is no image and it is a
little unclear exactly what is meant by power plate kit (sold
separately).

http://buy.logitech.com/store?Action=DisplayPageEnv=BASELocale=en_USSiteID=logib2cid=ShoppingCartPage)

I am also considering one of these devices as well.

Any tips, advice, experiences would be most welcome.

It should work, depending on how the network is set up where you are
going to stay. If it requires you to log in each time to access the
Internet, you may be screwed, as you can't enter account credentials
using the Boom. If it is a protected/unprotected WLAN with free
Internet access, you should be fine.

As for power, just get a travel adapter equivalent to

and you are fine.

The Boom should make a nice companion indeed.

The power plate kit is just a set of snap-on plugs for different
countries, to use with your existing power adapter, which is already
compatible with most worldwide power standards.

You've already had lots of advice, but I'll post this link in case other
readers ask similar questions.

http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm#plugs

It lists the plugs and sockets in most countries.  Great for travellers
going to new places.
