I'ma going to Italia soon. What *exactly* do I have to do or have in order to use and not fry my iBook G4 whilst in hotel?

Be nice; I'm old. Thank you.

I returned last night from a week in Tuscany and the Italian Riviera. Woo-hoo! My iBook performed like a champ with the use of the "Europe" electrical adapter plug purchased from Target for about $8. It also worked while plugged into a Airbus A330 during the flight home.

The plane connection was not without a hitch. I was plugged in but wasn't getting any juice. Didn't pay a lot of attention to it, though, because I could do what I wanted to do. When I got to 20% of battery strength I asked a flight attendant about it. Long story short: there's a note in the NWA in-flight magazine thing that says the plug may have to be removed and simply plugged in again if there's a problem. Worked like a charm and I continued to do what I needed to do. :-) (Italy was beautiful, btw, and the food and wine were so fine.)

Thank you again for your advise.
