MacChimney is manufactured by an company called Silicon Comforts.  Their
address is:
    Silicon Comforts
    2560 Bancroft Way, Suite 117
    Berkeley, CA  94704

I actually got my MacChimney from BMUG for $12.00.  You might try them at
    BMUG
    1442A Walnut Street, #62
    Berkeley, CA  94709
    (415) 849-9114

Hope this helps!
