Hello Tim,

 TR>>> No, it wasn't "...all hearsay." It was from watching guys plug in
 TR>>> that nice electric razor they'd brought along from the states,
 TR>>> turn it on for a shave, and all the smoke it made burning out!

 TR>> Yes. I said that, and SAW that a few times.

 Mv>> "a few times". As in "more than once".

 TR> Yes. More than once.

 TR> 1. I wouldn't know one from another as the only thing I ever `plugged'

Figures...

 Mv>> And yes, you mentioned voltage adapters, Adding that they were not
 Mv>> used in the cases described. You never mentioned plug-adapters.

 TR> I think I said `adapters'.

I *know* you mentioned voltage adapters. (And them not being used in the cases

 TR> I don't know where you are refering to.

 TR>  Here in the USA thats what happens.

No it is not.

 TR> In Belgium or the European Union Islamic utopia you live in things
 TR> may differ.

Here we go again... Contaminating a purely technical discussion with your
twisted views of what the world looks like...

Back in the twitt filter you go.


*plonk*


Cheers, Michiel
