I have not seen this information passed on to those of us in region
1,(hell I don't even know if most people know what a region is) if you have
a stand alone dvd in the US it is probably a region 1 dvd player, however if
you have a dvd attached to your computer then it contains no region codes
and can play any region. You can also get your stand alone dvd player
adjusted so that it will play region 1 and region 2 dvds, the bad news is
that I know they are doing this in Britain, but I have no idea if it is done
in the US or where.
For those of us who wanted the Crusade tapes NOW and not maybe in the
future, as I know you know they are available but only in PAL format. If
anyone is going to upgrade their vcr I highly recommend the Samsung
SV5000W, world wide vcr, it lists for about $450. It plays all sorts of
formats (PAL NTSC SECAM) and relays all this to your NTSC or PAL or SECAM
tv. I have been collecting the Crusade tapes now only a few more to go and
I will have the complete set.

some BABYLON 5 news. Here it is:
Greg Funk, BABYLON 5 and X-FILES make-up artist, along with Jason Mattews of
Stan Winston Studios recently worked on a new horror film called STOP IT,
YOU'RE KILLING ME. The film's co-executive producer is Cheryl Duran, the
