The other on the metallic sticker mentioned earlier is a serial
number. Here's a website that has a serial no. lookup:

It will tell you the original machine specs, the factory at which it
was manufactured, and more importantly the year and week it was
manufactured. Came in handy when I was shopping for a used G4.

Thanks for the link - bookmarked for future expeditions. I've
downloaded
the pdf files and will do some more research as I've yet to
determine if
this is the iMac (Early 2001) or the iMac (Summer 2001). The 'only'
difference appears to be in the processor specifications.
And surprise, surprise.... I paid for it on Sunday and it arrived
at my
door on Tuesday early afternoon, even before I'd had a chance to
make up
the spare room for it ;-) Now to play with it some, swapping out
drives
and memory from this earlier iMac. My plan is to just swap the 20
GB OS 9
drive with my 120 GB 10.3.9/OS 9 drive. I'm not expecting any problems
which guarantees there will be some.

Take a look at your iMac's case and see if you can find a sticker
with some info on it. More often than not Apple includes a little
(metallic) sticker which has printed on it a model number, RAM size
and maybe CPU speed (they've done this right from the Mac [128] in
1984).
Alternately, you know what form factor your Mac is and when you
bought it. Then, find out what speed it is (About this Mac) and
take a
look at http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.html and figure
out exactly which model is yours.
[from another e-mail] machine ID 1206 ought to appear in the Apple
System Profiler under Classic for all architectures and machines
(i.e. a G5 and a hacked 604). You need to boot into OS 9 to determine
the machine ID (Classic does not have direct access to hardware so it
can't determine such things as machine ID).
