| Johnny: You think this is a joke? This is a perfectly legitimate venture. I know three people already whose DVD players have self-destructed.

| hmmm..... The only beef I have with DVDs is the region encoding.... I have no problem purchasing, but I dont wanna buy 3 different players to see DVDs bought from 3 different regions! well, that's why they hacked those, too! I find it particularly annoying since I'm travelling back and forth between Canada and Switzerland, always taking my PowerBook along. At least for portables they could have made an exception. But, no, they'd rather give the "hacking industry" another problem to chew on. Anyway, thanks to a "cheese eating surrender monkey" from Paris (I believe) I can enjoy the best from both continents  Disclaimer: My post is not intended as an encouragement to use hacked firmware updates. And besides, you could render your drive useless by doing so, so I won't recommend it anyway.

| Wow... somehow I completely skipped your disclaimer as I was reading your post, and I didn't see it until the second looking! Weird. Laptops are, by nature, portable and relocatable, and they shouldn't have region limitations since they are constantly traveling between regions; I agree with you there. However, the media industry doesn't give a flying fryke what kind of computer you're using, or DVD player; they just want to make sure they get their way, no if's, and's, or asses.

| Well, I'd say: Treat your customers as you want to be treated by them.

| If only everybody actually considered that and followed its wise preaching. If only companies didn't make half-assed products that were liable to break or be bug-ridden, and actually did thorough testing and assessment to determine how the customers would react before they went to market.
