My wife is on a trip this weekend when, surprise, my mother calls up and wants to take my daughter with her overnight. Quickly a plan comes together:
2 2-liter bottles of Diet Coke - check
Extra copy of D2:LOD ready to install on second machine so I can mule with impunity - check
No worries about angering my wife or child due to gaming - check
Type in acct name and password on battle.net - check
Character screen coming up - WTF!!! What do you mean "No realms available. Please try back later."
Login to b.net to check to make sure I got the error message right - Wait, the login was successful - Saints preserve us the gaming gods are smiling on me now!
**Squelch**
This rant has been interrupted by the resumption of b.net availability. Sorry for any inconvienence.

DavidCPA, I like your style my man. I think I'll start studying for the exam now so I can attach the suffix so: RobCPA. The exam is on Nov 3 and 4, wish me luck. I think I'll pass as long as I don't get an advance copy of Civ III.

Good luck on the CPA exam Rob. Luckily I passed the exam before I got my first look at Doom. I suspect there may have been a problem if that timing was different:-)

I'd ditch the Diet Coke - two litres of cancer causing agents can't be healthy for your body.
