I'm away for a few days, visiting a friend in Peabody, MA. I have my MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to find out how many hours it has been operated Because I installed an SSD, I think it reset the counter.

I know I start at the Terminal and type a few letters, but I can't find them online. Any suggestions?

Thanks, but that's the time since it was turned on. There are two or three letters to enter that get the number of hours on the hard drive.
