It may have been when I registered D2 online that I was required to create a Battle․net Account and provide the required information. That was 20 years ago. 
You may be right. Back then, I never even looked for games online. We had a huge CompuServ store in our area. (Bigger than most of our department stores). And they carried everything you could think of for computers, hardware and software. If they didn’t have what you wanted in the store, which was rare, they would order it for you.
It has since closed. Probably since many people buy online now. But, they still have a warehouse located here. I don’t think it’s open to the public though.
Anyone is welcome to use any of the templates I’ve posted in the Perusoe’s Testing Grounds or anywhere else for that matter.
Sometimes I post the syntax I used, which you can just copy/paste into a document and save it on your computer. If I didn’t post the syntax just:
- Click Reply under the post that contains the template you want.
- Then click the first button on the Reply Editor toolbar (text balloon icon) to quote the entire post.
- Select just the template, copy it and paste it in your document.
- Finally, Cancel the reply and Abandon it.
