The first system I had ran 6.0.4, so yes, I was present for that. Yes, System 7 screwed up a lot of ****. Yes, I'm probably too young to really remember the effect it had on things, but as far as I'm aware, MOST things were updated very swiftly, as opposed to the 9 -> X change, whereby most things have not been at all. Why, I don't know, but the point remains.
