This seems like a stupid question that I thought I knew how to answer.
But I guess my advancing age has caught up with me.

I just migrated from a Powerbook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The PB is the
last in a line of used laptops replacing my original Titanium. I used
the Migration Assistant to make the move. Now both computers are named
"XYZ123". I would like to change the name on one so I can differentiate
between the two on a network, etc.

So how do I change the name of one of these Mac laptops?

Thanks. Daughter's BF stopped by awhile ago and told me now. I can't
believe I had forgotten how. Thanks again, anyhow.
