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.

Leopard Review in the Seattle Times
Jeff and I write a biweekly column for The Seattle Times called "Practical Mac," which means we're writing to the converted - we don't have to justify the use of a Mac or explain it. We're trying to help existing users, who seem to be somewhere around intermediate level, keep getting the most of their computers.
A feature we wrote on Leopard's most appealing (and unappealing) features for consumers appears in today's paper. What's interesting to us is that while we have a lot of local readers, we typically receive email from those far away, reading online, who often think that we're writing for more of the TidBITS crowd, which tends from intermediate to advanced, and is more interested in Mac intricacies than the top-level rundown.
