Whoa, whoa.  Not so fast, ee...  Spies is alive and well here in Cupertino, CA.
We've been transplanted to new hardware (68030 now), and are about to open
our doors again.  The new number is (408) 867-7400.  8 lines on hunt.
It should be fully open in a few days, after the local testers are done
pounding on it.

Call and introduce yourself to the new hardware.  It's always good to
hear from loyal users!
