Subject: A universal plug socket... at last?

[Chip Fetrow]

I think we are pretty much there.  I think everything I have bought  
since about 2000 will run on 90-250 VAC and don't care much about the  
frequency.  In fact, my Apple stuff -- laptops, desktops, iPhones,  
iPods, and the soon to be acquired iPad -- will run on high-Voltage DC.
