Hi,

I just got the terrain editor and COLOR Mac II version of SimCity.  The color
version is great!  Alot easier to work in the city.  Also, it is MF
compatible!    It also does auto scroll of the map if you are building Road,
bulldozing, power lines etc and go off the end of the map...it scrolls and lets
you keep building.  OPh, BTW, the color version IS NOT COPY PROTECTED!!

I called Maxis and asked for the following:

One-Way streets
Government institutions (Schools/Postoffice etc), Banks
SUBWAYS

They talked about doing some of this in the next release.  It might support
different layers of view to see this stuff.....

PS. I just finished my first megalopolis..

PPS..I sent in my card and got terrain and color disks...but they forgot to
tell me how to embezzel funds....could someone email me how to do it?
