That IS encouraging. I often use AD&D (or OSRIC, etc.) to introduce new players to RPGs, at least if they're interested in fantasy. I prefer GURPS for most things, but for simplicity of play and character generation, the "old ways" are great, especially for lower level characters.

That said, AD&D has lots of clunky bits that could stand improvement.
