I just received my black & white version of SimCity. I can see I
am going to miss some sleep because of it. The only thing I don't
like about it is the silly lookup protections scheme they use to
make sure you are not a pirate. Does anyone have a patch for
SimCity 1.2 that will disable the lookup?

I also just got the game and _hate_ that lookup scheme already! Please send me the patch, too.
