My question is kind of mundane. Is the power supply removable with a standard DC connector or is it built into the device? The reason why I'm asking is that I'd like to purchase one for my mother, but since she lives in Australia the plug w

I'd say so - its definitely become more socially acceptable to be a bit of a geek in recent years, I first started noticing it between the first and second Lord of the Rings films. We've seen shows like Big Bang Theory and the IT Crowd have
