It may be more important to remember that the REAL world (the one we
should all spend more time in) couldn't possibly give a damn either
way about anything this silly. ;)

Perhaps the bundled ones, but the boxed CDs (and boxes) are marked
"Mac OS 7.6". I have one here. The terminology change actually
happened during the clone era (7.5.3). But the existence of this
reply shouldn't let anyone think that this subject is actually worth
discussing further (or even this far, off-topic as it is...).

Well this is true, and it wouldn't be the first (or last) time.
