Re: [Wikimania-l] electricity plug

Thank you very much for the offer, but i need an Israel-to-Polish
plug. Israel has unique plugs which aren't used anywhere else. (The
people from the Standards Institute of Israel, who are supposed to be
responsible for this mess, hate them too.)

 I have a US to Polish plug adapter I would be willing to part with.  I have
 only used one of the two I brought and I have to leave in the morning.  I
 don't know if this works for you, but the offer is open to anyone.

At least we are nearing the point where devices accept all input voltages...

You could try a Spanish-to-Polish adapter and construct your own
Israel-to-Polish one by combining them! I discovered that the adapter
I had brought, that claimed to be a pretty universal one, didn't work
in Germany (which I passed through on the wikitrain to get here) and
ended up buying a massive universal adapter in Cologne, which is
great. I'm not sure even that handles Israeli plugs, though!
