2002 called, they want their bitching back.

I was trying to think of something to say to Pxlpainter and his .Mac woes, but you did it better.

It's a personal thing, no big deal. Some people feel screwed over it, like above, while others really embrace it.

Personally, I dig .Mac. I like the anywhere/anytime e-mail, the storage, the quick way to host an image, the ease of building galleries (instead of e-mailing JPEGs to a million people), Virex, Backup (all of which I use), and use iSync to keep my addresses and bookmarks all tidy and the same. I love the iApp video tutorials and I've actually downloaded many of the free software things made available from time to time. And iCards are great.

Plus, I like have a .mac e-mail address. Tell everyone, right up front, where I'm coming from (literally and figuratively). Looks nice on a business card and resumé.



I'd rather have all that functionality and capability neatly under one roof, all very clean, simple and fun to use than to have a Hotmail account here, some storage at another site, little greeting card things from another, site/image hosting from yet another place, etc.

I'm thrilled to give them $99 every October. Okay, not "thrilled"...but for as much as I use it and enjoy it, I truly don't mind. I don't feel "hosed" or "screwed" in the least.

YMMV.
