I've made it to Dayton, OH - pity my suitcase didn't
Last seen in Chicago - answers to the name of "Case".
Good old United Airlines
The bag wasn't very heavy, which may cost me dear, as liability is $20 per kg. So, I'll probably only get about $200
Manufacturers Suggested
Retail Price : $240.00
Minimum Advertised
Price : $119.99
The only thing I'm really going to miss is the charger for my laptop was in there, and I'm down to 8%, so that's gonna create some problems this week.
I guess eBay and Kelkoo will be busy with me searching when I get back to Blighty.

230 - no problem
Most stuff runs at 230v now to be euro compatible
google -
2.2.1 European Voltage Harmonisation
The nominal European voltage is now 230V 50 Hz (formerly 240V in UK, 220V in the rest of Europe) but this does not mean there has been a real change in the supply.
Instead, the new "harmonised voltage limits" in Europe are now:
230V -10% +6% (i.e. 207.0 V-243.8 V)
in most of Europe (the former 220V nominal countries), and
230V -6% +10% (i.e. 216.2 V - 253.0 V)
in UK (former 240V nominal)
This is really a fudge and means there is no real change of supply voltage, only a change in the "label", with no incentive for electricity supply companies to actually change the supply voltage.
To cope with both sets of limits an equipment will therefore need to cover 230V +/-10% i.e. 207-253V. This will actually become the official limit for the whole of the EU in 2003.

Thanks for that.
I've had some response from Targus. They will only say that it is 230v. They won't tell me the upper tolerance limit. Which, from the compensation point of view, is a good thing. I can now go to United and tell them that the manufacturer says that my charger is not suitable for UK use.
