Still thanks to you too. But what i wonder, what are artist doing 
with their gear, when they gig around the world? I guess the big 
artists (i don´t know like hm...Depeche Mode?) have their 
own "american" power-supply for their stage-gear. But what about all 
these less successfull artist who come e.g. from England and gig in 
America? How do they convert the power for their built-in AC-Adaptors 
in their Moogs, Rolands, Yamahas, Akais etc.?
Do you need to buy sorta power-converter-boxes in each country?
And what does e.g. a brasilian keyboarder does in Australia about the 
power-supply?
