Fellow Members:

I'm from the United States of America and I will be touring most of the 
European countries and part of Russia during a few months in early 2013. 
I just purchased and am awaiting delivery of an Acer Aspire One A0722 
netbook to take with me to maintain communication with my family using 
Skype. I will have a multiple configured electrical plug for power when 
I am not using the computer battery and I will also have an inline 110 
AC surge suppressor. Are there any other electrical considerations that 
I should be aware of so that I do not harm the netbook. I seem to have a 
recollection that, unlike the USA that primarily uses 110 AC as a 
standard, Europe has (or had) a standard of 220 DC. Of course my memory 
might be failing me. But, if that is the case, is there some simple 
way(s) to do a conversion? For example I have a small converter to go 
from 12 DC input to 110 AC output. If needed, are there converters of 
reasonable size and weight to go from 220 DC input to 110 AC output?

Thanks for any information.

Tom
