Save your $39 and buy one of those universal plugs you can buy at any
airport or travel department instead. It's much cheaper and much
more compact, plus you get the advantage of longer cable length.
(You can also save money by simply cutting off the old plug and
wiring on one of the country in which you'll be resident. I replaced
some USA plugs with British three-prong plugs, but that may not work
for all regions of the world [e.g., places that tend to use only
moulded plugs]. Alternatively, many AC adapters can be modified
simply by replacing the cable that runs from the wall outlet to the
AC adapter with a similar one of the proper nationality. I
transformed my external HD AC adapter in this way, just by swapping
the US power cable side with a British one.)
Cheers,
Paul.
