System 6!

Pah, newbie! :-)

I *think* my Plus arrived with Sys4.5...

(At least, I remember getting Sys5 and MultiFinder as an
"upgrade" later)

I also remember using a twin-floppy SE and thinking that
*three* drives would be useful:
One for the system folder, one for your application and
one for your data....
