admittedly off-topic

[Nomanulhaq@aol.com]

Hello to all. This is about as off-topic as you can get but I thought I 
would 
give it a shot anyway. Anyone on the list have any experience bringing 
gear 
into other countries? I know I need a voltage converter and outlet adapter 
to 
plug into the mains (in Cairo) but that's about it. Any suggestions/advice 
on 
getting a decent amount of gear, including a Line 6 DL 4 ( I thought I 
would 
be vaguely on-topic for a split second) shipped over with me on the plane, 
customs hassles etc, and what I would need to buy to be able to use the 
stuff 
through the mains in Egypt (220 V)? Any info would be more than greatly 
appreciated, as I am continually imagining what my poor gear would look 
like 
melting into little bits of unrecognizable blobs of liqiud metal and 
plastic. 
Thanx
joe.
