MemberAs logan said you just need the lead that goes from the mains socket ( called the wall outlet in the US!) to the transformer lump.
Whilst the figure 8 leads (C7 and C8) in the above picture are common in the UK they are NOT very common in the USA! The USA uses the larger kettle style lead!
All you would have to do is cut the UK 13amp plug off the lead and put a 2 pin US plug on the end, you can get these for like $2 a piece from Home Depot.fcat
Membercheers for the info, am running XP pro though, I’ll probably stick with what ive got

MemberSo whos gona get their scissors and cut a few up and start a thread on which SD cards we can do it on!!
I only did it on the Kingston 1GB as i had like a dozen or so lying about, im debating whether to do it on my 16GB K Data one!!
fcat
Membermine does:)

theres nothing at all but plastic in the back 5mm or even 8mm of the Kingston cards!
Its a crude way but works a treat, i just put a small groove in the underside with a craft knife so it can be pulled out with my fingernail:)

Somtimes things are a lot simpler than they seem:)

MemberYes you will have to activate the sim with an O2 or unlocked phone, you can buy a seond hand unlocked phonefor e tenner in most towns at the mobile phone/second hand shops! doesnt have to be anything fancy or borrow a frinds unlocked phone for 5 mins.
Niteman is corrrect, uninstall the vodafone connection utility and download and install the O2 connection manager or universal connnection software.

MemberEveryones opinion will be different and eveyone wants different things from a laptop/netbook as you can see form the poor amazon reviews! Weight isnt everything as people say , size sometimes matters!

MemberBen was only keeping Locke alive to find out how to get back. As soon as he learned of Mrs Hawking’s name he didn’t need Locke any more. I think Ben has felt all along that Locke was a threat to his leadership. If Locke went back he would be in charge, but if Ben went back and Locke was dead, then Ben could resume his leadership.
Well Ben did promise Widmore that he would kill Penny, i think they are throwing us a red herring there!
The big question is is Ben good or Bad ? and is Widmore Good or Bad ?
The reason we’ve all thought Widmore to be bad is because of one thing, BEN!! He’s the only person thats told everyone that Widmore is bad, no one else.
bens out for whatever he can get and taking no prisoners, thats obviosus.
What did Kate do with Erin ?

MemberIts kinda funny when were complaining that were ONLY getting 6 hours from our laptop batteries!

MemberSorry, with the iphone sim when your 12 months is up you can just start paying the £10 a month pay as you go for net access, or id guess if the cards are still available you can just buy another sim card. Not sure why the guy activated them in Jan, you have to add £10 credit to activate the card so whether he did this to actually save the person going through all the fuss of activating it when they recieve it im not sure. i know the card i have says it has to be activated before Dec 2009
I guess he did as you can buy an unactivated one here for a fiver and add the £10 yourself
