Another useful resource is to insert the computer's serial number  in 
the box at this page:
<http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html>
and click the button to get details about a machine.  It will tell 
you the year the machine was manufactured and the week within that 
year.

The serial number of the machine can be found in the System Profiler 
at the bottom of the Hardware category.
