Find Your Mac's Serial Number, The Easy Way

Want to check your Mac's serial number without turning the laptop upside down or contorting yourself to see behind an iMac screen or... well, you get the idea (also, no squinting at tiny numbers).

Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, and click under the Mac OS X title, directly on the Version 10.x.x note that says what OS version you're using. You'll get a "Build number," which is more specific info about the software. Click again, and you'll get your Mac's serial number.

Electronic Phoenix Project Mailing List Formed

Electronic Phoenix Project Mailing List Formed -- Several people have volunteered for the Electronic Phoenix Project (EPP), my proposed organization whose mission would be to adopt orphaned software. The idea received wide interest, even resulting in an article in the Dutch newspaper Het Parool. To facilitate further discussion, I've created an open mailing list. To subscribe, send email to <phoenix-talk-on@tidbits.com> and to sign off, send email to <phoenix-talk-off@tidbits.com>. The list is not moderated, so try to limit discussions to creating and operating the EPP. (Suggestions for programs to adopt aren't necessary - many have already been suggested in TidBITS Talk.) I look forward to seeing what emerges. [ACE]
