I used the migration assistant, and it carried over a lot of crap I don't want--including the name "Powermac G4" as a computer name. I can't seem to find a way to change that. Referring to the attached picture, you can see from the title bar and side bar that the computer's name is "PowerMac G4," but the HD is named "Mac Pro." How can I change the computer name?

Figured it out. It's in Sharing prefs.
