international power conversion

[cellio]

Dear LazyWeb,

I am travelling to Israel and want to take some of my US electronics with me. I've found "international power converters" that claim to cover "just about everybody" but when they list countries/regions, Israel is never on the list. What kind of power do they use? What are the magic keywords that will let me not fry my laptop? As far as plugs are concerned, is "if it fits it's right" a safe approach, or dangerous?

Thanks.

...I don't actually know what power they use, but a lot of newer laptop chargers work on both 110 and 240 power (well, they work on something like 100-250). It should say in itty bitty print on the charger.

ooh! look what I found!

Thanks! I have established the existence of (faint) itty bitty print on my power brick, but even with the best magnifying glass I have, I can't read it. Sounds like it's time for some research. :-) (It's an iBook, so not new but not ancient either.)
