Many of my friends now have 3 or even 4 external DVD player/burners
dedicated to a particular region with USA, Europe, South America labels on
each . At around $50 each unit and with one $15 IDE to USB adapter it's a
simple matter to plug/unplug. The whole arrangement of region coding is just
stupid as so many people travel across continents and around the world -
damned if I'm going to keep a dedicated collection of DVD's in my London
office and another in Melbourne..

Actually from my point of view (being in the US), I believe that region
coding is good. DVDs seem to come out much quicker after the theatrical
release of a movie than they did in the VHS days. I believe that at
least part of the reason is region coding.
