Ouch, that's quite a step down, 80 to 20. I always advise HC players to play 
multiple characters, and have more than one close to your highest level. 
That way when (not if, when) you die you don't have that big drop and it 
tends to be less painful.

If you'd like, I'll get the AGDHC Chanter fired up and we can power some new 
toons through Normal. Not exactly a rush, as we'll be doing our own killing. 
But we should be able to be through Normal and in our 40's in a few hours. 
It'll help your cousin get restarted.

Glad to hear it, speaks well for a successful HC career.

Lag bites, but it's another factor you need to account for and learn to deal 
with.
