If you have one of these computers could you let me know the serial number please?

Actually I've made a survey to help, please take a look

@bobs I didn't realize you had to have a google account when I made the survey. Otherwise I would have used Survey Monkey.

However, thanks for the information.

So far I have accounted for 62 machines that are out in the wild, but am also getting reports of another 5 I don't have details of.

If you own one, please get in touch via the form or DM me directly. I would love to hear from you.

I have at least two. When I find the time, I will record the serial numbers for you.

Just don’t hold your breath…

Usually on the back, under the flap.

Sometimes at the bottom on the back, near the flap.
