[X Newbies] changing name of computer in OSX

[Ed Wiser]

Thanks Scott I am just cleaning it up. the person I bought it from wiped it
clean but just set it up. So I just needed to change some of the settings.
Last night I set it up for DSL service the hardest part was finding the PDF
file telling me how to connect to the modem. I was able to take the ibook
into work and logged on to my company's network real easy. With out IT help
which is not much help anyways:)
