I'm just second-ing Galen's post, but I already had this one typed out
when his came in :)

I worried about this far too much for a recent trip to Greece -- every
peripheral I took with me was able to handle 240v and up to 60hz.
(laptop, music player, cell phone charger, and camera chargers).  I
ended up packing a 8-12oz. voltage adapter all over the place for no
real reason.

My suggestion is to check out your electronics' specs immediately, and
then just get a plug adapter (Radio Shack probably has what you need).
