Thanks for the advice! This is good news!
I checked my computer's power supply and the screen, and both are good to go. I'll now be checking other electronics items, like my flat-screen tv set.
I did find a place on Amazon where you can buy plug adapters by the half-dozen.

If you do need a high amperage Converter. You might do a search in some of the US military base papers. There are always folks coming to or leaving Europe. And the converters sell for a reasonable price. My flat screen plasma works on 110v 600w. It works fine with a converter. It needs to work on a pal signal also. There is a place in Chicago that sells all kinds of 220 bits and pieces.
