[QUOTE="TechieJustin, post: 1039116, member: 78233"] A little paranoia never hurt anyone. Nah, the serial number is just like a car's VIN, it just a huge digit that identifies the model number, where and when it was built. Every machine needs some sort of unique identifier so if there's a problem onthe production line they can track it down easier. Six Sigma! You never know, there could be a guy on the line with a magnetized hand. I used to work phone support, and sometimes I didn't log my calls. I got in trouble for it... but still perhaps your first tech didn't log your call and thus didn't create a file. I use Safari because Firefox seemed über slow. In my opinion it was originally written for Windows and then ported to OSX as an afterthought. Interesting. Serial Number: *********** Model: - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) Codename: - "M98" Build Country: - Refurbished product, location unknown. Build Year: - Your Mac was built in 2009. Build Week - Your Mac was built in week 24 of that year (June). Production Nr.: - Your Mac was number 59 to be built that week. [/QUOTE]
