Hi Dave,

'The game', at least as far as D2-LoD ladder goes is still agd/agd. (I 
wouldn't normally mention it publically but it was mentioned in the other 
group recently and it has far more traffic). I don't see the game up often 
though. I think it used to be agdx/agd for off-ladder?

I currently don't have D1 installed, having moved to a second-hand laptop 
(IBM ThinkPad R51) as my day-to-day machine last year. (It saves me $5/week 
in electricity costs and plays D2 just fine...)

Cheers,
