currently my computer icon is an imac g5 and i want to change it to a powerbook since my computer is a powerbook. (i'm running 10.4)
i can't do a copy and paste because it is read only and i tried in candybar but it has not actually changed the icon.

has anyone been able to do this?

Yeah, you have to restart. You're welcome, by the way.
