Hey Buttwand, I don't know why I'm correcting your already full of
mistakes FAQs, but these ones are really laughable.

- It's System 5.0.4, not System 5.04. Big difference.

- GS/OS is the operating system, not the desktop. The desktop is provided
by the Finder.

"System 6.0.1" contains GS/OS v4.02, the Finder v6.0.1 and updates to
various tool sets which have their own version numbers.

As an FAQ compiler, I would have thought a rather basic knowledge of the
Apple IIgs would be a prerequisite. Hang on, you were self appointed,
that's right...
