Is there anyway I can find out how old my latop is? I forgot the date I purchased it. It's a Powerbook Titanium 1GHz PowerPC G4.

Go to version tracker and download and install Coconut Battery. It'll tell you in months the age of your Mac. My beloved Powerbook is 29 months old!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

go to Apple - Support and at the bottom of the page where it says "About your coverage", type in the serial number of your powerbook. It should display the month and year when it was purchased, unless it is really old. It found my Titanium 1GHz

Thanks that was a quick and easy way to check.

I was going to say that you count the rings in the trunk (in binary, of course), but these sensible ideas are a lot more effective. 
Out of curiosity, why do you need to know how old it is?
Interestingly, Apple Support thinks my MBP has a glossy screen when it certainly does not...

That would be another way wouldn't it...

My PowerBook was my first Mac so I just wanted to know how long I've been using Apples. Actually I've used Macs off and on before then but I never owned one until my PowerBook. Sometimes I get asked this question from others so it's nice to give them an accurate answer.  Another reason is that I like to know how long my laptop has lasted. It gives me a good idea how reliable Macs are.
