Yeah, with the older versions of the Mac System, they had different
versions, I would say kinda like today we have different OS and, say,
Mail versions, since the Finder was more like an App back then. It
shows the same thing on my Plus with 6.0.8. I think it just means that
they updated the Finder more recently then the OS...
