The D3 announced has drawn me back for some D2
Grogmageling
posted.
I Played D2 from release to summer 2001 with some of the then regulars
of this group, I mostly played my Ice 'Ress Magelet (or was it 2 tt's
on the end, eh no biggie, that account is LONG expired).
I also played D1 and some of it's mods before D2 as well, Abysmal was
my favorite one of those, That was mostly played on the character
MartianMageling.
I remember playing with Demigodess, Mr Hanky, Zilth, Ear of PK Soup,
SilverRaven, hc2000, Paladin, Subspace, Mousehill, Otarin, the new
Zealand guy umm forget the name now I go to post amongst others and in
differing amounts of time (or even games). Ken Noone, there's another
poster's name anyways from back then. Maliarsha, there's another
name. I suppose I could dig out an archicve of Agent newreader from
the time and get more.
So I'll be popping around some on D2 and will check back here as well
if any of you want to catch up on old times...
I have noticed that Rares are a bit more common nowdays....

And a very short note from me, I haven't touched Diablo in ages bus
came across the thread by mere chance.
Perhaps the itching becomes too strong again with a new version of
Diablo coming out so we'll meet again on the battlefields.
Till then, all the best,

I still play on Maintenance Day (Tuesday mornings) in that other game
;-) Speaking of which, that's where the New Zealand guy (assuming that
*is* the illustrious SvH, and not Mad' Doug) and Ken Noone have
disappeared to, although Ken's currently on hiatus until the next
expansion comes out, but still reading the Justus forums
(http://justus.guildportal.com/, if you want to check in on us, the
Muffin Worshipper's Anonymous thread in the Forums should bring back a
few memories ;-) ). A lot of the old AGD crowd ended up there, AG
Turner, Marshall, Orion, Tae, Elly, Art Dent from AGD2, Jade, etc.,
Justus is alive and well and living in WoW ;-)

Lol, you can believe that I'll be playing D3 when it comes out :-) As
far as whether that means I'll give up that other game, well, that
pretty much depends on what my friends do. The *only* reason I started
playing it was because the computer I had at the time (since replaced,
except for the hard drive which is in the new computer) wouldn't
connect to BNet, so it was either play WoW of don't play with my
friends. This computer has no problems with BNet (despite accessing it
from the same hard drive, I *still* have no idea what the old one's
problem was), and I do have a few very low-level characters I play
when the WoW realms are down for maintenance.

That's odd about the PC. By same HDD do you mean that you left the same
Windows (?) install on and just swapped the drive into the new PC or did you
re-install Windows?

Heh, I actually got a Ladder Paladin into Act 2/Normal this morning,
that's relatively *fast* for me ;-)

New Windows version came with the new PC, but I didn't touch the
install on the old HD, which was added to the new PC. I actually got
the HD from the oldest PC added, too, although there were no problems
with that one before (other than running out of room on it), there are
currently no problems with it, other than an odd program or two that
don't like the new version of Windows.

Ahh, ok, got it now. That makes sense as some programmes won't run unless
the entries that were written when the programme was installed are in the
Windows registry. There's a chance that the proggies that you say don't like
the new Windows version would actually run if they were re-installed and the
registry entries written to the operating version of Window's registry.

Thanks, I'll look into that ;-) The specific one I remember is a
rarely used lyrics program that I got from a recommendation from SR.
Considering that I was using Windows 95 when I got it, it might not be
a bad idea to get an updated version anyway, no? ;-)

Heh! Indeed. Although I'm yet to find a simple, light-weight up-to-date
replacement for the email client I use, Calypso. (It's abondonware.)
Everything is so damn bloated these days. Ok, I'm running a dual-core CPU @
3.6GHz with 4GB RAM and 1.6TB of HDDs but that doesn't mean that every
programme has to suck more than it's share just because it's there right?

Alpine? ;)

LOL, I'm not really up to the challenge of building it.
I like Calypso as I have it checking 7 different email accounts, keeping all
data from each in it's own 'mailbox' folder on my HDD (which I've migrated
from one machine to another for ~9 years now).
I guess I'll keep using Calypso in conjunction with SpamPal...

You can download Win32 binaries of Alpine. ;)

If it works, why change it?
I'm using POPPeeper to check all my email-accounts, but use Alpine to
reply to them when needed.
