I was hired by Apple in October 1987 because they lacked Apple II knowledge in tech support, but I would still have to answer calls not knowing what the topic was going to be. One conversation with an Apple dealer went like this:
dealer: “what’s the current version of Finder?” me to dealer: “hold on” me to colleagues: “what’s the current version of Finder?” colleagues: “5.5” me to dealer: “5.5” dealer: “thanks” hang up me to colleagues: “What’s Finder?” Anyway, my point was that even if in some places 4.2/6.0 was promoted as System Update 5.0, there never was a System 5.0. The System went straight from 4.3 to 6.0. > On Oct 31, 2015, at 4:30 PM, Richmond <richmondmathew...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 31/10/15 22:05, Colin Holgate wrote: >> Wikipedia is one of the places that seemed wrong.
