Now that's interesting. My Master 128 carries the serial number
01-AMB15-0053025. Which means I've either got the -946975th machine to be
made by Acorn, their labelling kit malfunctioned, or my M128 is the 53025th
Master 128 to leave Acorn's factory. Ah, well. At least it hasn't got the
serial number 13...

Later.
