Hi!
I'm a bit of a newb here. I just got my Power Mac G4 "Sawtooth" from Adopt-a-Mac.com back in June. I love it to death! But, because it is used, (there are scratches on the outside, and there was a spiderweb above the disc drive and in between the zip drive and the disc drive), it was setup and sent to me, running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11, with no disc. Well, in the Finder, where the Home icon is, it doesn't say "Home" or anything else. It just says adoptamac. I want to change that properly, since it seems that when I just change it manually, some of my applications and files (luckily I back up the system) were erased . I've changed the computer name, I want to change the Home name as well. And does anyone know where I can get a disc of Mac OS X Leopard? That's my next priority once I get a larger IDE harddrive, or a harddrive controller and a few SATA's plus a new CPU that's faster.;D
(Eventually I'll get a brand new Mac, but that's going to be a ways off for the time being.)
