The scaling is in regards to how easy it is to convert. Cutting out is far easier than putting in (what do you put in, for example). I'm lucky enough to have a PAL VHS and TV (actually it'll play both!) so got to see _Neverwhere_ in PAL. So unless you're lucky to have a dual system or just plain PAL, or pay to have it converted, you won't be able to watch it. - Barb Need a new email address that people can remember Check out the new EudoraMail at http://www.eudoramail.com
