Something I discovered that was sort of odd when I bought my A3000 3 1/2
years ago was that the ROM chips were V37.175, while it still had a
kickstart file in DEVS: that was only V37.132. Hmmm, I guess somebody
forgot to delete the old beta kickstart file when they installed the
final ROM chip. :^)

I completely agree here. I just recently bought the RKM series & style
guide. I noticed that on several instances, Commodore broke convention
with their own style guide. For example; it states that when a user
performs an action which brings up a requester, then if this requester
has any action gadgets, the string gadget should not be activated. Isn't
this exactly what an ASL file requester does under 2.1? :^)
