Its true. I've heard this story for years even from some inside Adobe. The
error was due to how (I believe) two chromaticity values were presented on a
web page. But imagine Adobe's surprise when it worked out well. That's why
in the PS dot release, the name because Adobe RGB (1998)!
And I do have a CD of Photoshop 5 (and 4, and all the way down to a few
floppies with 1.0.7). But I don't have an OS9 Mac I can install it on ;-(
