Interesting you would mention this. Today there was a discsussion about
this from someone who just moved here and brought a US (120v) VCR/TV player
and about 200 tapes. She plugged it to the wrong power converter and is now
looking for a replacement.

I wonder if the Woot Device is multisystem, or will work on 230 volts.
