DVD-ROM drives are cheap these days, and many of them
allow you to
change the region at least once. I've been tempted to buy one or two
extras and set each one to a different region...
Humm... thats an idea. Get two $40 DVD-Rom drives, set one to Region 1
and one to Region 2, install them both, and just use the right one for a
given movie (most video cards will decode both PAL and NTSC, and usually
do a far better job than a cheap external converter will).
