using getenv_() I got my actual computer name 'Tim', using HostName(0) I got 'tim-main' - which is my network name. Something doesn't seem right.

I thought "computer name" and "hostname" were the same thing... ?
Getting the username wouldnt allow you to identify the computer anyway, you need the hostname (multiple users and all).
