Which 220V devices do you know that will be damaged by connecting via a laptop power cable to 110V? I don't know of any. Cheers, P

Could you collect a lot of power cables with US sockets, so that all of us foreigners can use them instead of complicated adapter plugs ?
I’m not sure if this would be a good idea, because the US/Canada use a 110V-system while Europe uses 230V. While many notebooks can stomach both, lots of other devices can not. So it could be fatal to just switch the powercord of a device.
Sincerely, DaB.
