Ditto here.  I'm moving to England in September, and am going to figure 
this
out soon myself.  I'm told I should account for the total wattage of all
devices connected to a single power strip, for instance, and get the
appropriate converter that will accommodate that much wattage.  Right,
folks?  Or are the 70s catching up to me sooner than I thought? :)
