Not really.. unwanted ads are considered spam by my book.
--Bowen--
Dec 17, 2001, 8:44pm
LoL here we go again:
"Heh... heh.............. This advertisement belongs to the bot newsgroup...
it's advertising to the community. I was hoping for a discussion. It may
be on someone's wishlist and it was written using the sdk."
That's his reason for the cross post on all 6 of the newsgroups.. but he
left out the worldbuilders.. so is it really necessary to post it at all?
Advertising that's cross-posted IS spam, sorry, if any.. this belonged in
the bots newsgroup and none other unless you're offering the source code for
the SDK.
That help you Andras? :)

Your computer might have cached data from the original Diablo.. I read that
sometimes the first Diablo would do that especially if you used spawn to
install it. So it's not really reading it, just reading what it saved and
playing it as though it's been autoplayed *recognizes the cd as you put it
in*.

The full version has the spawn version in it. It was part of Blizzards

Windows XP is going to be your problem.. I think it doesn't allow you to

doing it should be pretty much the same no matter which version so try their

Mine is almost as bad as yours is. Most of the teachers get paid $30K a
year.. so they have to put some effort in to at least get more. :) I
furthered my education other places.. but my school is one of the worse in
the state education wise.. also under a standardized testing regime.. that
makes it so much better!!! *sarcasm alert*

LoL That sucks bad.. my class lucked out.. they made the tests harder for
the class following us.. the Regents *NY's standardized tests* is the worse
of all the tests.. they ask the most bizarre and time consuming questions
about the simplest problem of them all.. repeat this for 100 questions..
then repeat 5 more times.. 5 regents + 5 midterms.. :) oh yeah.. in case
you're wondering where the 5th one is from LoL that's because you're
required by the state to take a foreign language.. if you don't.. you don't
get your regents diploma.. sucks doesn't it? But I got my regents diploma
already.. now I need my HS one.. the one that counts.. :) I wonder if this
is going to be a contest to see who's school sucks the most! LoL

Ok I'm going to say this once more.. buy a new CD-ROM. The internal parts
of your CD-ROM now are broken completely. Either that or BRING IT to the
