Thanks, Mithras! That was fun. A good show for Applescript too.
I'm at work on an improved version, with totally revamped code (the old was getting quite crufty), smoothing out the interface, and adding a coupla options (like downloading an icon to use for your hard drive). Should be ready tomorrow (Sat) morning.

Thanks. I caught the error (forgot a "my"), and it should work fine now. Curious to see the logic board ID for the new TiBooks!

Does anyone have a good set of fruit-colored iMac icons? The only ones I have are pretty cheesy looking:
