Thanks for the answer, Des. I wonder why they changed the name? As an aside, I was working the catering end of an Amway convention a bunch of years ago. They had quite a "ferver" about them. It was rather cult-like almost. Let's just say that I was careful not to drink the KoolAid.

We "looked at" Amway back in the 70s and have used the products ever since.
We did travel to Orlando and to Miami for a couple of "rallies" and they were a lot
of fun and certainly included a lot of energy. I went to a Billy Joel concert after that
and was amazed at how unresponsive the audience was.
Anyway, we just weren't the people to be successful at direct sales, so we never
"escaped" from our 9 to 5s until just recently. The new Quixtar concept is pretty
cool, but we're just not the "sales" types, no matter how easy it is.
And they probably quit using the name here because people all ran when they heard it.
