Comment 24 for bug 628087

 @Mark

I'm going to lobby for putting the user first. And, to do so we can
possibly lift (and improve) a page from the "Fruit Sellers In Cupertino"
(FSIC) on this one:

"Please type a name your computer." It's a simple question and gives the
user a sense of being in control. (They are already typing their own
name anyways. One more box isn't torture.) It also adds a touch of
personality to their computer and fun to the whole experience of
installing. IMHO this is a better approach than silently choosing a name
on the user's behalf that they will be stuck with later, or forcing them
into a "clean up task" after install.

If naming one's computer something fun isn't seen as an appropriate
install task, then providing an obvious GUI to change it from System:
Preferences ought to be our compromise. Something like an "About this
computer" app would do nicely.
