"I still think that ATHM is a very attractive asset to a company wanting to build a nationwide presence. Why wouldn't MSFT want ATHM as an outlet for its MSN?" Hi Larry, You make some good points. Even though the market begs to differ, I agree with you that @Home is an attractive asset. I guess I always have, and that is why I rode it from $99 to $1.96. I kept the faith for a long time. As others have pointed out, in hindsight, Excite was a road that ATHM never should have traveled. What benefits did ATHM gain from the Excite purchase? Maybe it helped to broaden the @Home footprint. Who knows...maybe more than we realize. @Home continues the roll out. As the Internet stock bubble burst, so did ATHM right along with it. It is difficult to find a stock that fell even further...$99 to a buck and change. Amazing. I am taking the family bowling. This is one sport where striking out isn't half bad. I probably smell like a pack of Camels (non-filtered) in a couple of hours. Take care, Ed
