Waiting for the selling conditions to pass ...

As most of you know, we are waiting for the selling conditions in our selling contract to pass. That should be clear by the end of next week. Very strange situation, since a week our minds are fully set on preparing all preliminary activities for our emigration (which fits our emotional state), but at the same time we are still not able to really take the final steps.

We can only hope it will all be fully clear after next week. Untill then we´ll just have to remind each other every now and than to be prepared for any set backs, and try not to fully unload the emotional battery (keep some reserve in there, just in case ;-) ).

Today we have been to an audio shop to get some information about possibilities to get the firmeware of our dvd player adapted so we will be able to look at Australian dvd´s too (that´s region 4, while we are region 2). They told us that there is not a big chance that our player will be applicable for that (it´s 7 tyears old now), and that they are not even sure if making a dvd player region free really means ´free´. It seems that in a lot of cases the region free results mean able to read region 2 and region 1 (US and Canada) because most non-region-2 dvd´s are from North America.

So, we´ll have to do some more research on that field. Worst case situation is that we would have to buy a new player in Australia (for the dvd´s we will undoubtedly buy overthere ;-) and also keep our current one to be able to play our current collection of dvd-players. And hope that one will not break time any time soon.....

If anyone has any usefull comments on this, just let us know!
