I use RegionX to twiddle my region in OS X just fine in my ibook.  However,
if you really can't get it working, try scan.co.uk and dabs.com.  I'd be
shocked if they won't ship internationally, but if they won't then have 'em
deliver to me and I'll ship it onwards.

Or I could just go and get one on the cheap at a market for you.  Won't
be able to do that until January though.

  I often reflect that if "privileges" had been called "responsibilities"
  or "duties", I would have saved thousands of hours explaining to people
  why they were only gonna get them over my dead body.
