[tlug] power adapters in Japan (and US)

[Scott Robbins <scottro@example.com>]

My wife just arrived in Yokohama (she'll be all over in the next few
weeks).  Googling indicated that she shouldn't need an adapter for her
Aspire One, which uses a standard 3 prong laptop adapter, but she said
that she did need one, and purchased one when she arrived--apparently
paying close to $50 USD.  

She says, however, that doesn't fit and also says that the 3 prong one
she has won't work.  Can anyone confirm or correct this?  If true, what
sort of adapter should she get?  

(Don't ask me why she doesn't just bring the one she has to a store and
show it to them.  I've emailed her that that is what she should do, but
I assume she's sleeping.  (It's around 1:30 AM in Japan right now.)

Thanks.
