750s round the world

[kress@ctpsun.ciw.edu (Victor Kress)]

I'm attending a meeting in Germany next week, and I would like to
bring my tp750 along.  My power brick is the big one (FRU P/N 49G2196)
that lists input at 100-240V~0.95-0.5A.  I have a two prong German
style plug adaptor which fits the three prong gringo type on my cord
(leaving the ground line unconnected).  Do I have to worry at all
about plugging my precious TP into those German lines with this setup?

I have two batteries, and I hear lots of talk about hot swapping. 
Unfortunately, every time I try to swap with the computer on, the
system crashes.  This is true no matter how quickly I try to swap the
battery.  I thought there was some internal energy storage to keep the
machine going during battery swap.  Am I doing something wrong.

Thanks
