I started using photoshop with version 1.0 and as far as I can remember 
it had a similar histogram. I think the extra stats like count, mean, 
standard dev etc... and the ability to "mouse over" were added later. 
The histogram itself may have been only available in the levels box. 
Maybe I'll hook up my old computer and see.  Back when I was using 
photoshop 1.0 the histogram didn't mean much (with the super small, 
indexed color work I was doing at the time. I think the video card was 
only 8bit)
