Really? Wowzers. Yeah, look at that, it is on the webpage. I thought the FAA and NTSB were pretty hostile to 110V outlets for passengers. It is a *lot* more exciting when a 110V outlet gets shorted out than a 12V one, and you can cause a lot more trouble with 110 than you can with 12. But... I'm certainly no fan of the 12V outlets or their adapters. I've had more bits of broken plastic and mucked up hardware in my various airplane power adapters than any other bit of computer hardware I travel with. Not to mention the need to carry an almost utterly useless chunk of adapter around, so I can use it during my flights. - David
