Been a long time since I've read this group, even longer since I've 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....

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? Cheers, -- Shaun.

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. <phew> Cheers, -- Shaun.

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.

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).
