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.
