Whoa, Sad day indeed.
OK, let's all get out our checkbooks (or whatever?), and send this man $5
bucks. If we *all* do it, we should be about to get the $600 - $1000 he needs
for a new disk drive.
Come on, you paid $40 bucks for doom (plus shipping), and all you got was 27
levels. What are the hundreds of wad files (and other utilities) you can get
on infant2 worth?
