Newbie Question - how to change computer name?

Hi

I have just acquired a Powerbook and I wanted to change the computer name
that comes up in OSX (not the network name - unless this is the same thing).
Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

John

In System Preferences, click on Sharing. Assuming you have
Administrator privileges, you should see the top fields you can change.
