A new name and symbol? I dont think thats a good idea. Opinions? @Home is a bad name. Horrible marketing mistake. Where is ATHM listed in a list of names? Is it Ampersand-Home or AtHome or what? Some lists are only alphabetic and don't recognize @. Foreigners don't get the idea of the @ sign either. It's a colloquial thing that does not translate. It sounds like a real estate business. It also does not represent ATHM since we want to offer service to businesses as well as homes. The guy that thought of @Home is probably the same guy that thought up AltaVista. Shoot him.
