Question

Which adapter plug in World Travel Adapter Kit is right for Argentina?

My father in law is off to Argentina with his PowerBook in tow. We know it can handle the voltage down there but I don't know which world adapter plug he needs as it's not listed as one of the choices in the World Travel Adapter Kit. Nothing for South America is listed in the kit, for that matter. Any ideas?

Thanks much,

Jake

Jake,
Check out this site for the type of connector and voltage used in Argentina (and everywhere else for that matter).

It is the "Australian" type that he needs.

If he hasn't already bought Apple's adapter kit I'd recommend he just buy a travel adapter in Argentina, or in the Airport departure lounge on the way out - they only cost a couple of bucks and will work just fine. When I moved from Canada to the UK nearly two years ago I thought the Apple kit was overpriced - spent £2 on the relevant travel adapter that I'm still using.

Good luck,

Gareth
