Here's a simple question to which I can't get a firm answer.  I'll be
spending next year in Paris on sabbatical year (no expressions of
sympathy, please:  I'll just have to grit my teeth and bear it).  I run a
Mega4 here in Canada, and I'd like to carry the computer with me.  Now
the CPU and keyboard are quite portable, and present no problems; I'm
told the computer will run perfectly from a transformer.  But no one
seems to be quite sure how to handle monochrome display.  Can I buy a
monitor in France and expect it to run with, say, a few sparkles?  Or do I
have to tote my monitor to get a display from my Canadian computer? Can I
have the power supply replaced in Paris to run European monitors? And,
incidentally, is there a problem with *ALL* European software on North
American machines?  Perhaps Ken B. can get some definitive statements
from in-house gurus in Sunnyvale with respect to  these questions:  it
can't be all that unusual to want to run a 110v, 50Hz machine in 220/60
lands.  Many thanks for any advice from any of you, especially those who
have done it.
