[Wikimania-l] Computer shop in Buenos Aires

[Ray Saintonge]

My wife raised this since she is bringing her laptop.  I hope that I was 
right in saying that a laptop works off its DC battery, and the public 
AC only charges the battery.  A direct connection from the computer to 
the wall power would likely scramble the timing when a 60 hertz device 
is run with 50 hertz power.
