Sorry about the pic. You see, it is kinda difficult to find a US
connector to Euro socket _in Europe_. We tend to have adapters made
for European plugs into foreign sockets. I found one that was truly
every-socket-on-the-face-of-the-planet to every-plug-on-the-face-of-
the-planet but it was incomplatible with the flat front of the
Newton. So I made that little rig. Now I ordered a UK plug adapter
for the Newton from jksalesinc.com , my GF (and her Hong Kong family)
have several UK -> Euro adapters.
Oh, the picture is here, by the way: http://putfile.com/pic.php?

Cheers!
