Martin you can overwrite the name if you want... but be careful if it's on a network... as the ~ is how the network recognizes the mac for networking. Garth.

I find "Macintosh HD" such a boring name. I know the machine is a Macintosh, I know it has a hard drive - do I need to be reminded every time I look at the icon. Something like "Bit Pusher" "The Woz Machine" or how about "Fluffy" our now deceased hampster are much more interesting! _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/Pages/joinus.html Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/ _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/Pages/joinus.html Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
