Thanks to all those who responded to my request to learn to embezzle SimCity funds. Please, no more responses, I know how to do this. BTW, I just got SimEarth and it's even cooler than SimCity! Maxis really knows how to write entertainment software. Russell Davoli

Then again, devoted hackers have proven that any scheme I've ever heard of can be defeated. Note that I'm in no way suggested that someone should use MacsBug to defeat the scheme and pass copies around - I write software for a living too.
