I was under the impression that only the > Mac SE and higher could run on 240V 50Hz with no modification. 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.
