Is a Canada/US MAC compatible in the UK with power adapter?	Can't Post

Hi all,
I bought my PowerMAC G5 here in Canada. Some time in the next few years I may be going to the UK to live. If I use a power adapter will it still work? I know all my cameras will work as the transformers with them all support 110-240 volts.
Thanks for your help.
Sean.

I just bought a laptop G4 in Italy. I am now in the US using it with no problem, just put an adaptor on the plug.

From the PowerMac G5 technical lit:

� Line voltage: 100�125V AC or 200�240V AC (wide-range power supply input voltage)
� Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase

Enjoy

All Macs can be used anywhere in the world. My daughter had no problems using her iBook in New Zealand. We just made sure she had the appropriately configured plugs for NZ electrical outlets. Every Mac manual has a section devoted to this subject, and you can very likely locate the same information online.
