The only thing they have directly is the mom and pop site that handles their logo products and memorabilia. They have some deal with TCI and other captured MSOs to generate tv ads, but that emphasizes the digital tv STB angle more than business services. I've never seen any representation of @Work anywhere.

Your comments are golden. Best news I've heard in a long time. The T-BT news was pretty impressive, but that is twice removed. Your explication of @Work's hosting is exciting. Earlier this year I seem to recall some mild discussion where I became privy to your efforts trying to make direct suggestions to the company. I'm sure it helped to craft the existing model since you were insistent on aspects that would be attractive to you. I can only thank you for help making our investment go. What you've described addresses the criticism directed to ATHM concerning what do they have that Adelphia doesn't? Let Adelphia eat cake.

You have to wonder about $50 hosting. That could break the backbone. The scale up suggestion I remember from the past, so what is ATHM going to do when the data traffic climbs? Do they have a slider?

Maybe it's just as well they don't advertise. The best advertisement is often trying to keep something good a secret. Then people have to find out for themselves and nothing sells as well as that which is disseminated word-of-mouth. It is so plebeian that it keeps government fairness directed to the MSFTs. The corporations like that too because it isn't a sell job by some silver-tongued devil coming from you-know-who.
