<DIV>A bit off subject. I am sending a computer, TV, microwave (and a
Kaos 40 by the way)... to my son whose working out of Thailand. They
use 220V 50 Hz power. I am sending also the appropriate transformers. Any
problem with the 50 Hz they use vs our 60? I know its not pattern but you guys
truly have the answer to many interesting questions.</DIV>
