I've done a search and cant find anything on this - so apols if someone has mentioned this.

I did a clean install of SL on my 2009 IMAC, i used disk utility, erased my hard drive and did a fresh install. All cool, and this isn't really a problem except i thought it odd that in preferences it had remembered my computer name.... kind of.

The actual 'Computer Name' filed is populated with 'my name's Computer' obviously based of details i entered when setting up an account for the first time after SL install - however, the part where it says 'other uses can access this computer at afp://computer_name.home..... has somehow remembered what my computer was called before i did the fresh install..... not really a problem but now my computer appears to have two names - the new one created at install and a legacy name form before..... is this a bug/issue? must have stored it in RAM somewhere?

Cheers
