Joining the 21st Century in another way
Lest anyone think I’m a technophile, I didn’t own a DVD player until today. We watched DVDs at home with my PowerBook, connected via S-Video to my TV. That was good enough for once-a-month-or-so watching, but Ruby signed up for Netflix last week and the PowerBook solution just wouldn’t scale to that.
Since I have a small TV, no external speakers, and no intention of building up a complicated home theater environment, Brian and Ronnie suggested that I buy the cheapest DVD player I could find. With a minimal amount of effort, that turned out to be the Amphion Media Works S99, which Circuit City was selling for $40. So far, so good — it appears to play DVDs, and that’s pretty much all I care about.

I got one for 70 Euros that works with all region codes. It’s cheap and I can use both European and US DVDs.
The first one broke and I returned it, and got a new one within a day. They even took out the LOTR DVD I had forgotten in the old one and put it in an envelop that attached to the new player.
