Why? Just think of all that great RentClicks branding that is now gone." You are absolutely right. The whole Rentclicks/Rentalhouses/Rentals thing is comparable to if Coke, Pepsi and "Generic Cola" all came together and Coke changed their name to Generic Cola and left Pepsi alone. Pepsi is still good, but more people liked Coke. And now that Coke is Generic Cola, it doesn't taste as good either. It just seems to be a very stupid business move to me. Dave,
