[X4U] When did the switch to glossy screens occur?

[Crandon David]

OK, I think I figured it out that it occurred with the introduction  
of the early 2008 models.

But how can I easily figure out if a model is older than that? I  
mean, if I'm just talking to someone on the phone, and they don't  
have a clue as to what I mean by glossy vs. matte (believe me, it's  
happened), can the person look at the model number on the computer?  
Or can I tell by processor speed or anything else?
