I love Diablo, can't get enough of it.  But being sensitive to excessive
mouse use, I'm starting to suffer from the effects of too much clicking.

To the folks at Blizzard, if you could modify the game to help reduce the
use of unnecessary mouse clicks, I'd appreciate it.  For instance, in town
I hate the tiny scroll bars when conversing with the blacksmith, witch,
etc..  The up/down buttons are very tiny, and I hate having to repeatedly
click on them to scroll down the list.  I want them to work like other
scroll bars where I can click and hold the mouse button and the lists of
items will automatically scroll.  Think your programmers can handle this?

Also, I'm unfamiliar with the gamepads out on the market now.  Can I play
Diablo with some of the newer pads?  I'd like to use a little joystick on
a pad to control everything, and program the extra buttons to bring up my
speedbook, inventory, etc..  Anybody know if this is possible?

Later ya'll...

Allen
