[G4] How to Change computer name

[Tim Collier]

There was a really neat article in MacAddict a couple of months ago on how
to change the short name (the name that is given to your user folder) but it
is slightly complicated.  If this is what you mean, I'd be more than happy
to share it with you.  I've done the procedure twice now and didn't kill the
computer.
