This is getting tiring.

SimCity for the Mac II (colour) is not copy protected in any way that
I can find.  I copied the game from its distribution disks to my hard
disk and everything works fine.  Oh sure it has a few little problems
(like the mousing is stupid and slow paricularly when you have "update
all windows" turned on) but certainly no copy protection difficulties
or impedements to simply running the thing.
