"Far canal" indeed! :-)  'Ee made oi laarf!

This is on-topic, actually.  I am buying a new laptop so as to help  
with photo processing while on hols.  My little iBook, is a little  
slow to use for processing RAW files, but mainly its display is too  
small and dim.  Well, that's what I told myself anyway.

Now I'm looking for a converter to allow me to use my 12v power  
supply (car cigar-lighter thingy) with the MacBook.
