Hi guys. Any thoughts on the following?

I'm a movie buff (in Australia, which is Region 4) and get sent DVDs,
including commercial ones, from friends around the world.

But my new Acer laptop computer tells me that I must nominate just one
Region for it to play DVDs from. (As a sop, I guess, it allows me 5
initial plays from anywhere, but after that I must settle for whichever
Region I finally select.)

Can this unfair restriction be circumvented?

Replies direct to my email address (<muffin@labyrinth.net.au>) are fine.

Thanks - Ken
