$1.25? When did this happen, last I knew they were $8-10 or $5 in
*LARGE* quantities.

YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I SUBMIT

I care more about this than getting myself fired, but the fact is that

Insteard of going to a conference, you could go to your favorite 
Hypermarche in Belgium or France and buy a multi zone DVD player.  Course 
then you can't use your NSTC tv set to connect it to but that's another
