After buying & receiving my clamshell, I was so eager to use & set it up to receive and send email, that I plumb forgot to change the other person's ( short name ), so what it looks like now is: My name _ _ _ _ & so on / the faded out ( short name ) of the other person / my password + my verified password & the password hint, as I was reading in the book, ''the missing manual'', it describes ''editing accounts''-for instance, only administrators can change an accounts name, & even they Can't change an accounts short name after the account has been created. However, I want to re-install Panther, it came with Panther, but also has O.S.9 which I doubt I'll be using again, if I do this reinstall , would these settings stay the same or could I put them in manually and change that 'D a r n' short name ?, Just remembered that this name is also SET for being the computers name too, as I write this on my other computer, because when I had written it on that one and sent it, it couldn't be sent (of which I don't know why) the software update is installing 7 items Now into the Clamshell. I need some guidance here. Please ~ ! Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
