On my machine, 24" iMac 2.8 GHz w/10.5.4:
do shell script "system_profiler | awk '/Serial Number:/ {print $NF; exit}'"
do shell script "system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | sed -n 's/ Serial
Number://p'" and
do shell script "ioreg -c 'IOPlatformExpertDevice' | awk
'/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ {print $4}' | cut -b 2-12"
return the computer's serial number.
