    If I remember the original article correctly no model was
specified.  As friends had a US Mac+ and ran a transformer I
forgot about the SE and upwards universal power supply?  Sorry.

   The Mac+'s here are marked 220-240 V, 50-60 Hz etc.

   However, back to the original point, which I'm aware was
closed.  The thing I didn't know was that you only get a
Ninety day warranty on Apple products in the US.  Those
very same products are under warranty for TWELVE Months
here.  Think about that.
