Ah, of course.  Canada.  How silly of me.  Come to think of it, if I have the patience I'm going to Toronto in September, I could get it for a souvenir.  What a good excuse.  Still, who needs an excuse? :)

Say, now that you mention it, the first (and only, so far) time I watched a DVD on my computer it asked me to choose a region.  So *that's* what it was talking about!  I had no idea at the time.  I just clicked things until something worked. :)

Thanks for the input!
