Yeah, I'll have to do that, though I don't have anything abvious (like
aloft, for example) that should be interfering.

OTOH, it's pretty hard to login to the game at all. First of all, it
crashes often and the only way to get it to work is to remove the
config.wtf file. Second, Battle.net now takes minutes to launch. Third,
the login process itself is very slow. Fourth, my BM hunter is now a
total face-roll class with zero (and I do mean ZERO) skill required. I
logged in, set my talents, and then simply hit 2, 3, 4, 5 at random and
threw in a 1 whenever my focus was at max.

(Dire beast, kill command, Beastial Wrath, Volley, and Cobra Shot on 1).

I was #5 in the raid on DPS. For the majority of the time, I was not
actually looking at the screen. If I had one of those game pads I could
trivially setup a repeating script and walk away, except the game no
longer switches targets.

-- 
'I warn you, dragon, the human spirit is-' They never found out what it
was, or at least what he thought it was, although possibly in the dark
hours of a sleepless night some of them might have remembered the
subsequent events and formed a pretty good and gut-churning insight, to
whit, that one of the things sometimes forgotten about the human spirit
is that while it is, in the right conditions, noble and brave and
wonderful, it is also, when you get right down to it, only human.
