Macintosh System Software 6.0.2 arrived today via SnailMail,
postmarked in Santa Clara on my birthday.  I guess Apple Release
Engineering only springs for FedEx once per major release :-).  The
interesting part of the cover letter says:

	This release is essentially the same as the previously mailed
	System Software 6.0.1 with one exception.  A change was made
	to the System File to correct a problem that caused the width
	of LaserWriter Plus BOLD fonts to differ from their PLAIN
	equivalents.

I wonder about that "essentially."  The only difference I've found is
that the installer now mentions Mac II / Mac IIx as a choice instead
of just Mac II.  The LaserWriter BNDL problem has *not* been fixed,
even though folks both inside and outside of Apple tell me they
reported this bug long before the release.

     On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put
     into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
