If you want to play a modem game with your friend, only one of you need
have the cd in.  But to play it alone you need the cd (at least with the
latest patch applied).  If you have the unpatched version (I don't
remember what the number is) I have the cd patch you can use BUT it
won't work with the newest version or if you apply the update patch from
Blizzard.
