I believe this has been discussed before but I can't find the thread. I just bought an iPod and the A/C adapter to recharge it when I'm away from a computer. Where is the outlet in a roomette or bedroom and would a device that is bigger than a standard plug fit. I seem to remember some discussion about the outlet being recessed. Any thoughts? (I seem to recall an outlet near the sink in the bedroom and one above the seatback in the roomette.)

Frank in gloomy, cold SBA

PS. I love the iPod. Prices have come down and I was able to get the educator's discount ($20.00 off).

There is a retrofit program in place so that a "brick" can be plugged into the Superliner Room outlet.

No difficulties in plugging in my phone's "brick" in the Roomette on my most recent trip (Feb: Auto Train)

If you get an unrefurbished Superliner I, you will need a short extension cord/power strip to plug in your "box".

Any other form of Superliner, and there is no problem.

However, I always use a surge-protected power strip, just in case.
