I ordered an Asus EEE from Expansys on Feb. 4 at which time they  
quoted 5 days delivery. Their delivery time has slipped repeatedly  
and they're now quoting 1 March. Meanwhile, back at the web browser,  
Komplett has 40 of the model I want in stock, but with the US  
International KB layout (Komplett SKU 345839). Now as it happens this  
suits me nicely, as this is my preferred layout (though I bet the  
Control key will be in the wrong place).

However, what concerns me is that the wall wart power supply may be  
U.S. too, and that I'd prefer to not have. AIUI the EEE's wallwart is  
auto ranging, and is supplied outside the U.S. with different sets of  
prongs for different country's sockets, but U.S. sourced models are  
not supplied with these prongs. I've asked Komplett, and a human has  
acknowledged the question, and is investigating it for me. So, have  
any of you purchased this SKU from Komplett and if so, what power  
supply did you get?
