I remember the name Shovah, not sure if you would remember me! We may have only played together in one or two games.
I too came back to the game after a hiatus to find that I had lost the CD, the key and the manual! I was very depressed, untill I checked my external drive, where I found the entire game
I only play the game off the portable external anyways (keeps me from needing subs or staling; I just keep the pocketsized drive with me, and as long as I can get to the internet somewhere, I am golden!)
