Thanks everyone. I have a couple of spare adapters around, so I can just hook one up. Re changing plug, I actually learnt that in high school tech studies class. Provided you get the wires hooked up right, you don't really need a licensed electrician to do it (more like $150 just for the call out fee). The wires are colour coded and the plugs have the polarities printed on them, so its not that hard.
Gee how times have changed...
PS: we call out licensed electricians to change light bulbs at work, yes, just one electrician.
