Thanks Glen - hadn't realised one could do that!

Matt, you can change the name of the computer on the network with
Preferences, Sharing (Computer Name at top).

If you go to the finder, click on the Macintosh HD icon and then press
Cmd I (Get Info), the Name and Extension section lets you edit the
name of the disk.

Glenn.

 Hi list, I have a small problem with the name I gave my Intel iMac HD and
 the name I gave my old G4 iMac HD when I network them.

 The Intel iMac and the iMac G4 both appear as Macintosh HD on my shared list
 in the finder window, (the old iMac G5 is okay with Macintosh HD G5 and the
 PowerBook is okay with PowerBookG4).

 Ideally I would like to call the:

 Intel iMac - Macintosh HD Intel, and the;
 iMac G4 - Macintosh HD G4

 Also in the Finder window under Devices on the Intel iMac it is listed as
 "Matthew Falvey's iMac", I would like to change that too, hopefully to
 reflect the name of the renamed HD - Macintosh HD Intel.  Can any of this be
 done without to much work and without causing a catastrophe?

 Thanks.
