Heh, I did the same thing.  I couldn't find an IBM version, so I *ahem* took
care of an archival backup of a friends (in case his house burned down, y'know?)
and tested it occasioanlly to make sure it still worked :-)
Until I found a C128 version someone was selling, so I figured that would make
me legit.

*I* loved the Popular Paranoia.  I just wish it had been a real magazine, not
a pamphlet :-(
