.Umm...I think they've moved.  I remember asking them for their address about a
.week ago and they gave me an address in Moraga, CA.  Unfortunately, I'm not at
.home right now, so I can't look it up.  I'll post it when I get home today.

I called them yesterday and asked about updates to let SimCity run on a IIci.
They told me to send them $10+$3 S&H and I will receive a new version of the
game (color) and a card that has the codes necessary to use their "manual"
protection (no more key disk protection, yey!!).  I asked about addresses and
was told that both addresses (the above and the other one) will work.  The lady
I talked to (Bonnie) was most decent and understanding and I feel I was treated
very well by them.  If you are a registered user, and want the color version,
send them $13 and mention that you upgraded your system to a IIci and that you
need a version that works on that system.  $13 for the color version seems
much better a deal than $30 or so from mail-order.  You also get to keep the
B/W version, it would seem (key disk protection and all).  - Yossie
