Well I got the first one from the so-called Early Adoption Program, which
also provided the second one which was identicalto the first one, even
though we screamed ourselves hoarse (if fingers can be hoarse) that it was
broken. lol
The third, fourth, and fifth copies I bought in stores as I came across
them. Oh! and there was the copy I bought when I heard CL was going under.
So.. um... eight copies. Some still in their shrink wrap. And I also had
two blueberries (only one was brown, iirc)-sent one to Lis who for some
reason never got one (UK version). The other is still in the unopened box.
I bought the Albian Years from Gameware because I wanted to support the
people who took over the software. (sentimental idiot-lol)
I should check and see if the game will run with the launcher.exe when I
have one of those old C2 versions in the CD drive. ;`}

Kewl! Glad to hear it. Someone should pay that woman.

Oh! I need to go have a much closer look then. Thanks for the Info.

Well I went in and added a bunch of names to the CC people list but I
didn't know what I was doing so I probably screwed it up. LOL (If so, my
apologies, GreenReaper!)

I definitely will do so. Thanks again!
