http://www.chipmunk.nl/cgi-fast/applemodel.cgi

does anyone know any other sites besides these 2?
the first one is good but it locks you out for 24 hours or whatever after 2 searches
regardless of whether it was a real serial number or not (be absolutey sure you typed it right before you press enter! and be sure to use a modern computer browser)
i just screwed up 1 digit and now i have to wait 1 day  :'(

the chipmunk site has told me that my sawtooth was produced in June of 2000 and not in december 1999 like i had previously thought
heres an example output from chipmunk, no graphics, just text
