A2K would have been r15 but AutoDesk knew about the odd numbered release curse, and so cleverly changed strategies. Calling it r15 draws comparison with the earlier, slower/buggier odd numbered releases.

Whow! What a guy! Is that off the top of your head Paul?!

I have a copy of AutoCAD LT for Windows (3.1) still running on my Laptop (release date was December 1993). It still works although I hardly use it anymore because it's not quite so functional as AutoCAD 2002.
