[Ti] my Ti-500 Powerbook - stolen ! Serial Number

[Kynan Shook]

By the way; if you search for the serial number you listed below, you 
won't find anything.  The leading S must be something that MacMall put 
on the beginning to identify it as a serial number.  Your actual serial 
starts with QT.
For anybody that's curious, here's how to read a serial number from 
Apple; The first two characters are the factory code (such as QT, XA, 
XB, UV, V7, etc.).  The next character is a number, and it's the last 
digit in the year.  On yours, that's a 1; so it was manufactured in 
2001.  The next two numbers are the week in the year; in your case, the 
10th week.  The next number is the day of the week; I'm not sure quite 
how to decipher it (ie which number stands for which day), however.  
After that, there are two alphanumeric characters indicating the 
specific computer in the group it was manufactured with, followed by a 
3-character code (ie JF8) indicating the production line or something 
like that.

Just in case you're curious.  ;-)
