Is there any way to get the purchase date and end of warranty date for Apple hardware, aside from going to an Apple Store and making someone at the genius bar do it for you?

I know it's available in all the secret service systems (GSX, iRepair, and whatever the hell the precursor to iRepair was - GRE, I think?), but what about regular customers?

Also - posted in the lounge because I have no idea where this thread would go.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

Apple.com/support
Then click on self service/check your service and support coverage.

That only tells me I have a "Verified purchase date" - it doesn't provide any detailed information. It also doesn't provide any info on the warranty start/end dates.

It should also mention if the serial# is is still covered by applecare or not. If you need an exact date, you will need to call 800-my-apple.
