You'll be fine. Most laptop power adapters are designed to work anywhere. Your U.S. plug won't fit in a German socket, though. You'll need either a plug adapter, or a German-style A/C cord. Take a close look at your power brick. The cord that goes into the wall outlet can be unplugged at the power brick side. That's why. You can unplug the U.S. cord, and plug in a German cord. Probably easier to find the German cord when you get to Germany

How do you access media files on computer from another country like windows 7 commercial
How do you access media files on computer from another country like windows 7 commercial?
OK i seen this new commercial about windows 7 where this guy watching his video from his home computer in the US on his laptop in Germany. The thing I hate about these commercials is that they done show you how to do it (I know this is because they done have enough time) but I think the least they could do is post a link or something telling where I can go to find out how this can be done. Is there anyone out there that knows how this can be done?

Hey Biglo B, Good point on the ads. It's actually known as Remote Media Streaming. Now you can watch that funny American tongue push up video from anywhere. Here's a video about how to set it up on your computer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/remote-media-streaming Cheers, Kim Windows Outreach Team

Which is more reliable in Germany- Wi-fi or DSL
Which is more reliable in Germany- Wi-fi or DSL?
I mean reliable--as in continued, uninterrupted connection. I'm planning a trip to Germany and need to know the availability of Wi-fi hotspots and DSL in Germany and which is more reliable. I couldn't find anything on line. I also would like to know if its compatibile with a laptop that has a US based wifi-card. Any information would be much appreciated. Also, approximate costs and expenses for WI-FI and DSL in Germany would be a great help as well.

No not really: Example cost with Germany biggest provider: http://www.t-mobile.de/hotspot/preise/0,9647,13950-_,00.html T-Online also exist in the states inquire for roaming conditions and technology. US based wifi-card ? European bands? No idea. Info seems available in Internet. Spot Finder NB-7300p has a frequency range from 2400~2483 Spot Finder NB-7300p hat einen Frequenzbereich von 2400~2483 ... You will find info but You have to Google German words. You would google: hot spot Kosten (hot spot cost) or Tarife Frequenz = frequency - the technical terms are spelled differently but basically the same. zuverläßig = reliable

You can make older games work by doing a couple of things. You can use DosBox for older DOS games. For games like Diablo 2, I would install XP in a virtual machine using virtualbox with guest additions. Then you can run all the old XP games on the virtual machine.
