get a lower serial number with mass-produced parts.
As you say, there is no real correlation between the serial number and
its provenance, but not everything in collecting has to do with
provenance or market value....

Lately
I've been wondering if anyone attempts to collect
mass-manufactured memorabilia by trying to get the lowest serial
number.
For instance, I have an Atari 800 serial #388801.
Has anyone done a wiki/database type web page where everyone can enter
the serial #s of their common computers?
This is mostly a pointless excercise, sorry to report. Serial numbers are
notoriously non-sequential. [...]
