The computer’s name is the startup disk, so use something simple like this:

tell application "Finder"
	display dialog startup disk
end tell

all you have to do is :


tell app "finder"
display dialog (computer name)
end tell

It was so easy after playing with it i figured it out. I’m still learning Applescript

Thanks for your Help
