Hi
Just installed 10.4 on my G5. I used firewire to transfer my settings etc from my powerbook. My G5 is now know as David Foster's Powerbook. I have renamed the hard drive to G5 but I can't seem to rename the title of the computer in finder window. I know it will be simple but can't for the life of me do it.
TIA for your help.
