Comments/Notes:
- A printed manual for OS 3.9 called "Das Buch" (meaning "the book") will be on sale the same day 3.9 is released (currently only in German).
- Considering its time constraints, OS 3.9 will have had the shortest beta-test period of all AmigaOS releases.
- Bill McEwen has obviously provided the financing for Workbench v3.9 as the sales for 3.5 were not enough on their own to allow this next step up. Thanks Bill!
