Starting again becuase I lost the backup

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

I've just sold the Windows PC and bought a iMac. Before I sold it I backed
up all of my files including the Diablo saved games. But, now that Diablo is
installed and running on the Mac, I can't find the back-up CD. I've looked
everywhere, and I must have chucked it out or lost it. Oh God, I've got to
start all over again. My Druid, my Skellymancer and my Barb all lost and
gone. It just doesn't bear thinking about. Another month stretches before
me until I can get back to where I was. Oh bloody hell! If ever there was
an argument for a .mac account this is it. Bollocks!

No that won't work. I formatted and re-installed Windows before selling the
PC. They are dead and gone forever!
