I'd like to use Cocoa to get some kind of serial number unique to the

in Apple System Profiler would be dandy. How do I get at that
information?
The most common way of getting a unique identifier to a machine is to
use its MAC address (on the Ethernet card). There is a technote
somewhere describing how to go about doing that under OS 9, I presume
it's still possible under Carbon...
Anyway, why do you need a unique identifier in the first place?
