Macintosh System Software 6.0.2 arrived today via SnailMail,
postmarked in Santa Clara on my birthday. I guess Apple Release
Engineering only springs for FedEx once per major release :-). The
interesting part of the cover letter says:
This release is essentially the same as the previously mailed
System Software 6.0.1 with one exception. A change was made
to the System File to correct a problem that caused the width
of LaserWriter Plus BOLD fonts to differ from their PLAIN
equivalents.
I wonder about that "essentially." The only difference I've found is
that the installer now mentions Mac II / Mac IIx as a choice instead
of just Mac II. The LaserWriter BNDL problem has *not* been fixed,
even though folks both inside and outside of Apple tell me they
reported this bug long before the release.

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put
into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
