A friend/client is going to work in China for a couple of months with the possibility of spending a lot more time there. A newer building on the mainland not far from Taiwan and 45 minutes from Hong Kong. Thru Sherlock's AppleCare we know the Ti can handle the current and she's checking whether the same US plug can be used since the tech note says their plugs are US. So that leaves the internet question. If any of you have been there or live there, can you please give us some advice on dial-up? She had AOL and Earthlink right now and I think does web based mail for Earthlink. (If she will be spending a lot more time there, she'll seek out high speed. Thanks. Deborah Shadovitz
