Hi,

Several of our professors also bought DVD's in Europe this summer.

They will play on computers with DVD drives, but I hear that the DVD will
lock down to a region after a certain number of uses.

I just ordered a Daewoo code free from Impact Computers & Electronics (a
Yahoo store).

(And we all thought the just made cars!)

($195.90 with shipping.)

I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

Best,
Karl
