Minor I/O features can vary from country to country for a given model of
machine. Particularly true for something like video where standards
vary regionally. Best to 'eyeball' the machine before you buy.

You might also check the HP Pavillions in the zv6000 family. I bought a
zv6130us for about the same price as that Toshiba (converted to US$)
that has S-Video for NTSC. (Also has wireless-G, Firewire, four USBs, a
slot for several camera memory cards and a digital TV link that I've not
explored. Strictly a 'region 1' machine so it wouldn't work with the
discs in the U.K. (thanks to Hollywood's stupid regionalization scheme.)
