Need help re:Dell adaptor

Just received the Dell 700m I ordered after reading http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthrea...highlight=dell

Few things I didn't realize - the 12" screen is measured diagonally and is shorter than my other 12" screens

Hard to adjust to the 1/2 size period key (and some others)

BUT - the adaptor comes with a grounded plug (3 prong) unlike all my other laptops which means I will have problems with adaptors I use overseas. After 70 minutes (!) getting shunted around with Dell they told me I could order another adaptor if I gave them the part number and they would supply iit at no cost BUT they could not give me a part number and the only adaptor I can find on their website has no picture (and I presume would be the same as the one I have). I can't substitue the cord from the adaptor to the wall with one of my others b/c the Dell has a different connection.

Does anyone know if there is a Dell adaptor that has an ungrounded plug? (Other solutions are klutzy or expensive (?juice)
