[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1259303, member: 112842"] Not quite right. It's not like Windows where you need a serial number to "unlock" the disc. Instead, Apple made different discs for different models. If you go buy two Macs that are exactly the same, the OS discs will be interchangeable. But, one very slight difference in the machines, and that's no longer the case. Put another way, if you had a room full of identical Macs, you'd only need one gray disc to install the OS on every one of them. That would not be ethical, but it is technically possible. [/QUOTE]
