Buying Ami stuff in Germany for the UK

[dandelion]

Hi all,

I've been increasingly looking abroad for my Amiga bits and bobs, encouraged by the good exchange rate from pounds to euros and the wider availability of big-box ami stuff. My question is, when it comes to buying actual computers and monitors, what do I need to bare in mind?

a) As far as i'm aware Germany (my favoured european amiga depot)uses PAL. Am I right?
b) What about electricity supplies? Does Germany use 240v or would I need some dreadful converter setup? Not bothered about having a shaving socket adaptor between the 3pin UK plug and the German plug.
c) Language issues - it would be a bit annoying to have German hardwired into the system, especially as I don't speak a word. I know that 3.+ has Locale for greater international support, but do earlier versions have different roms for different languages?

I thinks that about it. Any information about this greatly appreciated, also about postage issues, success stories, horror stories, tips etc.

Cheers,

God Bless Amy

Thanks for the advice, sounds quite good re German Amigas, sorry Deutchland, but I might be depriving you of some of your Amiga population! I can assure you they'll like their new home though, and i'll break them in to the British way of life gently. I was mostly talking about second hand stuff though, for new stuff I do check out Amigakit as a matter of course.

Cheers all,
