I had a talk with my dealer lately and told him that I had recently downloaded system 5.04. However, he showed some concern, as there is an apparent 'buggy' copy out from Apple. So far I have had no problem with the system that I downloaded from apple.com, but I am curious to the details of this other system 5.04.

He might have been talking about 5.03, which was buggy and was a stopgap release on the developer's CD "Night of the Living Disc" that included beta copies of Hypercard IIgs.

In addition there was some problems with the files which were stored
on Apple.com, but I believe that problem has been fixed. If you were
successful in downloading the files and bringing them up the system
should be as good as any version of 5.0.4. {my opinion only} Skip

A word to the wise though. Unless you really know this dealer, I wouldn't put too much stock into what he says. I have had many bad experiences with apple dealers. I ought to tell everyone a story sometime about when I went to get a system disk update (this was long before I had a modem and net access) I haven't been back to a dealer since that time! Platkus

I think your dealer means 5.0.3 is buggy. You have to expect these dealers to be incompetent. (Apple made a big deal about 5.0.3 being buggy.) -- zane@ddsw1.MCS.COM
