Thank you BRETT!!!

This is what it is all about to me. I've really been noticing that aspect 
of usability theories that talks about size of target when mousing. It 
makes a HUGE difference to user success rates.

One reason experienced users might be so enamored with the logo as a link
to the Home page is the size of the link. Most text links being rather
small, a logo offers a target that is much easier to mouse to and click. So
even if a site offers a text logo link, it makes sense that users familiar
with the linked-logo convention continue to click on the logo to get "home."
