No way to tell, really. Most of the revisions have been minor internal changes that you wouldn't even see. The biggest noticeable differences are these:

- the very early versions had a "Darwin" signature next to the screen
- shortly after the signature versions, the on-off function was changed from a physical switch to a hall effect sensor (an internal change)
- the upgraded connector arm (with multiple locking positions) is one of the latest changes
- the blue screen is one of the latest changes

Other than those, it's all pretty much just been little changes on the innards in between revisions. Nothing the user would be likely to ever notice ;-)
