I'm just making up this number, but I believe that I
have seen Newton power adaptors selling for as much
$30 on ebay! I've seen simple adapter plugs selling
for as low as 30 cents in quantity (10 or more)
For the cost of just a regular AC adapter, you could
buy almost 100 simple adapters. In 2 years, you could
loose 1 a week and still come out ahead! (because, I'm
sure that a french specific adapter will sell for more
than $30!)
So, you see fiscally, it's is cheaper to just use the
plug you got and just buy a ton of adapters!
