[Ham-Mac] PowerBook "M" Family codes

[Scott Galbraith]

Thanks, John. I looked again and more carefully and finally found it in the
small print on the other label. Proof that my eyes are not what they used
to be and I guess the bifocals don't help that much either. (Actually the
print is so small that I have to take the bifocals off and hold the label
about 3" from my eyes to read it! FYI, it is M4753.)

Thanks to John and Mike both for their suggestions.
