I had a friend go to York University this year with his Mac (512K, 2 400K
drives, 15" ImageWriter) and he has no problems using a 250W converter with a
power strip.  He shipped it in a cardboard box via air freight without a
problem either.  [This is not to be interpolated to airlines, however]

I hope I have as easy a time as he did during my year sojourn to Goettingen 
University next year.
