Yikes - the mandatory French classes made my latin very weak indeed - is Fora the plural of Forum?
I was hoping for something the same length or shorter to fit on the menu bar, so you guessed it. We've had people say they don't know what the home theater wizard *is*, so yes, I was trying to figure out if there was an easier way of communicating it. Some great suggestions so far, thanks.
I have the sense that if you're looking for help from the wizard, you may not know that HT means home theater.

Amie, my initial reaction was the same as most of those offered so far - that I immediately understood "Home Theatre Wizard". Axiom may simply have to accept the notion that, with ever increasing numbers of customers, the law of averages is bound to catch up with you, and that you will NEVER be able to satisfy a every single website visitor.
If you must change, I'd lobby for something like "System Advisor".
But I really favor the existing verbiage; it makes me think of an Automated-Alan.

Yes, but if people don't understand "Home Theater Wizard" I wouldn't advise using it.

Perhaps you could keep the name, but give the link a DHTML pop-up "tip" ( as demoed here), so when a curious person hovers their mouse over the link, a longer description appears.

I'm a firm believer in what I refer to as "Idiot Proofing." That doesn't mean I thing someone is an idiot. The object is to explain something so even an idiot could understand. I've found this goes a long way toward avoiding miscommunication
I gotta admit that, if someone doesn't understand "Home Theater Wizard" we might very well be dealing with folks who fall into the aforementioned category.
For oversimplification how 'bout "Design Your System," or "Design A System," or "Create A System," or the like.

I would have to agree that Home Theater Wizzard is pretty much as simple as it gets.I do however like Jacks suggestion of Create A System,with one little change,Create Your System.
