It got misdirected from a disco gobo.
BTW, why do so many people use HOME as the prefix to their
SSID's?
They don't. The HOME-XXXX format, where XXXX might be the last 4
digits of the MAC address, is the default SSID for Comcast "gateway"
style wireless routers. I'm not sure when this started, but my
guess(tm) is about 2 years ago.
Anything is better than linksys, dlink, default, hpsetup, and default.

3.74% of about 210 million wireless networks use the default SSID. I
guess this is proof that most computer users have no imagination.
Fancy SSID has no impact on security.
