Subject: international Macintoshes

A Swiss friend of mine is thinking of buying a Mac and taking it back to
Europe. The major problem is evidently that the European Macs have a different
keyboard layout and an extra key. The software marketed in Europe probably
is set up for the International Mac not the US Mac. Since the keymapping
is done at bootup, I thought that in order to modify European software for
a US Mac he would merely replace the system file used with one from an American
program. Any ideas whether this would work. Obviously he is out of luck with
the extra key (does anyone know what that key does?).
The second question is about the power supply. I've read that all one
needs is a heavy duty transformer. One of the early issues of MacWorld
had an article about someone traveling with a Mac. Anyone had experience with
this? Thanks, David Gelphman [email protected]
