Yay, I did it!!

15 years ago

So when last I wrote, I hadn't yet secured a visa (check), hadn't negotiated a flat (done) and had barely gotten my acceptance to the University of Nottingham. Now I'm on my way come next Monday!

Here's my question for the lovely experts I know hang around here: I'm getting a new laptop ('cause I've never had one; only ever used a desktop) and of course I know about the voltage situation between the US and UK. What's the best adapter anyone can recommend so I can charge (but not blow up) my brand new purchase? I got one a long time ago from Radio Shack and ended up returning the thing because it didn't work with the UK outlets.

See ya soon from overseas!
