# Use curl to query Apple's servers while inserting the variable that contains the last characters in the Serial Number into the URL
# Pipe it into awk and use <configCode> as the new delimiter, printing the second field
# Pipe it into awk again but use </configCode> as the new delimiter, this time, printing the first field
# This leaves you with just the computer friendly name
# Thanks to n0brainer for the idea:
