 I have.  Was in the Netherlands last week, and plugged my laptop power
 supply into the 240v (or so) feed, without incident (after referring to
 the label).

 I haven't seen a PC power supply which is incapable of both 120v/60hz and
 240v/50hz in a very long time.  I think even my 486 from 1994 had a switch
 for 120/240 -- nowadays it auto-senses, no switch required.
