Fake System 1.0 (System 3.2 / Finder 5.3)

** I now believe that the "fake" was a miscommunication; System Software 1.0 & System 1.0, the two numbering schemes.
Oh well, I do make mistakes... :) It was fun digging up the "fake" metaphor.

What is misleading is the "fakes" are really System 3.2, the last version of the system you can run on a Mac 128K.

Plus it should of been called System Software 1.1, since that is the System Software family System file version 3.2 belongs to.



Differences:

	1. The disk icons are different.

	2. The Trash Can "lines" are pointing two different ways.

	3. The "fakes" Windows have a Zoom box.

	4. The 128K/512K version would not have a Mac Plus update installer file.

	5. The LaserWriter was not released yet.

	6. The ImageWriter has a capital "W" in the "fakes", System 1.0 has a small "w".
