Excellent idea.  I'll be writing a letter as soon as I have a recent address.
I think the Londonderry NH address is old, can anyone with a recent Origin
release provide a better address from the documentation?

Thanks to all the people who have bothered to post information on Ultima V
here.  Your comments, both positive and negative, *do* make a difference. 
I'd love to get Ultima V for the Amiga, but based on the overwhelming 
evidence I've seen on the net, the game appears to have serious problems. 
So I'll wait, write a letter to Origin, and maybe look for something 
similar to spend some time (and $$$) on.  Hopefully Origin will do something
to change my opinion of them, but the quality of their products has gone
downhill since Ultima III, and their games have lost some of that 'magic'
quality that made them so addictive in the first place.
