Life / Electricity in Poland: plug and voltage? [73]

Thread attached on merging:
Electronics

I have a question about electronics because I'm moving to Poland from the United States. If I bring electronic stuff (laptop computer, playstation / video games, etc) will I be able to use them in Poland? I know I'll need to buy a converter for the wall plugs, but will my stuff get fried if I turn it on?

Thanks!

Work / Are there any Americans teachers left in Poland? [38]

I'm an American teacher and will be heading to Poland in about six weeks for my first teaching contract. I'm excited, but I've been hearing a lot of negative things on the forums that worry me quite a bit.
