On a Mac II, it's much faster, but the money still dries up too
quickly. The solution is to learn to cheat (Maxis sends you the
info after to register your copy).
I've seen the color upgrade, and my opinion is that it's almost not
worth bothering with. On the plus side, it's in color, not
copy-protected (I may buy it for this reason), and works with
MultiFinder. On the minus side, it requires you to be in 16-color
mode. So, it may be useful for viewing existing cities, but
having to switch your monitor sucks, Switch-a-Roo notwithstanding.
