Oi! I had to go to the toilet, I was bursting. You didn't let me finish, I only do packs of 4,000 but I'll let you have them all for nothing. Too late now though.
I've also got a signed photo of the Foo Fighters performing cunnilingus on a couple of 18 year old busty females, I was going to bring that out to give to you but you ain't havin' that either.

Er... Could you not just cut off the UK plug and add a Canadian plug when the time comes? Admittedly that won't work for moulded transformer plugs (i.e. cell phone charger etc) but it will work for most other things.

I'm worried that if I replace a fused plug with an unfused one, any power surge would go straight into my computer and blow it up . . . which wouldn't be a good thing.

Can anyone clever answer this.

I've looked that up and apparently adult crickets live for about 8 weeks. Unless you send a few small birds into the vents.

Ermm most computers just have a 'kettle' type lead with a plug (UK or Canadian) at one end and a 2 pin plug (like what goes in the back of a kettle at the other). Easily obtainable at your local Best Buy/Futureshop/Source etc etc. You'll probably find the power supply is dual voltage (or has a voltage range from 110-250v) in any event. On the Compaq desktop I bought over I had to peel of a sticker and flick a switch but then Bob was my mothers brother.
