This appears to be mostly the case. My Pismo serial number was lost during its first AppleCare service call, when the CPU card was replaced for overheating. Oddly it was restored during subsequent AppleCare service when the DVDROM drive was replaced. FWIW I've swapped three hard drives through this unit; the serial number hide-and-seek appears to have nothing to do with the hard drive in use. -- gadzikowski | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
