    Default Simple question: changing computer name

    Is changing the computer name any more complicated than simply opening
    the Sharing preferences panel and changing it there? Ditto for the
    Rendezvous name?

    I checked Apple's KB and the online Help and they both indicated that
    one can simply change the name with no negative consequences.

    If that's all there is to it, I'll be delighted.

    Thx.
