Thanks Bruce, that's good to know. As for the occasional hang - I've
always had that with D2 and am used to it. I'm _very_ used to hitting
command-option-escape when playing lots of quick games one after the
other :-D

extra hundred frames! ;-)

P.S. I dunno about you guys, but I'll be getting any and every Blizzard
game that will run on this Mac and playing the hell out of them from now
through Christmas! Even Starcraft on a 24" screen :-D
