I thought the whole idea behind having the new update called "System Software
5.0" was to avoid the confusion with version numbers and EVERYTHING would have
the *same* number.  However, we still have System 4.2, Finder 6.0, MultiFinder
1.0, etc.  How are we different from before?  Not only that, but *nothing*
in the set is version 5.0!  Might as well have called it System Software 42.0.
