That's nice, where is it?
Apple's *OFFICIAL* statement, posted on Compuserve Macintosh Developers
group said 3.0 was DANGEROUS, 3.1 had bugs related to memory management
of large programs (they bomb), and that 3.1.1 fixed THOSE bugs.
It's real nice that Apple employees don't use 3.1,
but are you sure they use 3.2? THEY could be on 3.4 for all we know, OR
CARE!
The latest DISTRIBUTED AT A DEALER WITH HARDWARE ON A DISK MULTIPLY
GENERATED BY APPLE (no hand printed labels, please) system/finder
that I have heard of is 3.1/5.2.
>Finder 5.3 and System 3.2 prereleases seem to be faster and pretty reliable
^^^^^^^^^^^
>with my working-set of programs (no Laserwriter, no AppleTalk, no SCSI)
Weren't we talking about OFFICIAL?
I haven't been able to get a copy of 3.1.1 system, let alone 3.2.
Go suck an egg.
