Hay MrF,
yes your absence has been noted and rumours flying about what has happened to you (not really :P).
Bummer about your pc my motherboard finally died on the final weekend of my holidays so am using my laptop until I decide to buy a replacement motherboard or do an upgrade to Sandy Bridge (new mobo, cpu, ram).
Dont worry about finding your CD instead click on the "My Account" nav (left-side of the CoH website home page) then the "Download Game Client".
Or click here 
.
This is the initial install only and you weill still need to download a big chuck of the updates.
Hope to see you ingame soon
Hi.
) and took forever to be repaired.
Just in case some people have noticed my absence, it has been mainly due to the fact my PC broke down (majorly) just before Christmas (2 days into my holiday, boo!
Also, has been a bit of flood bother here in Brisbane, not sure if any of you others know about it as it hasn't been on the TV much lately. My house is fine, as I was around in 1974 and knew it may not be the best idea to but a house in the flood plain of the river. Work on the other hand has been a a case of 1) move stuff, 2) looks like the water is going to be higher than we thought, so go in and move stuff higher, 3) water gone, so move stuff back. So rather knackered anyway.
It would appear I need to re-install City of Heroes after my PC repair, and unfortunately as house is still being renovated, I can't find the CD that has been packed away in a very safe place. So will look as best I can.
As I was offline during holiday period, I didn't get to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, so I hope you all did and I also hope to see you in game in the very near future!
