Yeah, can't you read the sticker? It says:

Nice. (Although I have to ask: at 4:51 a.m., you were lucid enough to be able to tell the difference between an AS and a Saber?)
BTW, being a DOS guy, I have to ask... Do the radio photos look that awful in the splash screen, or was it just the way you saved the screenshot?

Keep in mind he's in Australia... so it's no surprise he was up that early

But it's 4:51 a.m.
his local time (see bottom right of screenshot), not 4:51 board time.

Yep. It's a Systems Saber, actually

Motorola's programmers went well out of their way to find the worst photos they could for the splash screen.
