Some questions to whoever can answer it.

1) If a person has got the documentation for the 4.0 disk, then is there any
need to shell out the cash for the docs for 5.0?  I had to go and buy the 4.0
version since I got my IIgs way back in the days of the Desktop, and I needed
the docs only to make sure of I knew it all (or most of it).  Is there
anything in the 5.0 docs that would justify buying em?

2) I remember the days of the Desktop, it could smoke the Finder (4.0 sysdisk
and lower) in speed of drawing everything.  Is there anybody out there who has
seen both and could comment?  From all the comments it seems like the new
sysdisk is tons faster and so is the Finder.  Does it match or better the
speed of the Desktop?

3) Since there are folks from Apple here, is it possibly you guys could post
the new system disk to comp.binaries.apple2?  Be a great way to get it in the
hands of a large number of people.  I realise it is fairly large, but is it
possible?

Owell, back to net.lurking.
