Yup, I got one of these a while back - couldn't find and place that would
ship me one out of the US so I had to get a friend to assist. The power
adaptor is dual voltage and uses a standard sideways 8 shape connector
for the mains lead, like you'd get on a portable tape recorder and the
like so no issues there. The only US-ism that I haven't been able to
shake is the date format in the spreadsheet. It has many formats, but
dd/mm/yyyy is not one of them.

It's great. Even syncs to *shudder* Outlook with no issues and it's so
handy to be able to just compile stuff up and have it work!
