    Oh. My. God.



    I can't believe I didn't see this in the other thread.



    OK, I'm going to smack my head into the desk repeatedly, then go to bed.



    Feel free to delete the thread, flame me, whatever.... sleep deprivation does strange things.



    :o

    but .Mac sounds so lame! Why couldn't they just keep their whole "i" thing going...



    Oh well. It will be interesting to see what else is new iTools/.Mac-wise.

    Uh-oh. I predict my bitch thread will come handy



    I actually think its okay. The 100 mb is a huge plus and I predict Apple is going to give us something that will intergrate streaming etc. with iTo... .Mac.



    The name (despite i already hate it) show that Apple really think they can go head to head with MS and thats a good sign.



    I´ll pay the 50 bucks the first year and reevaluate a year from now and expect them to have given me much more features during that periode.

    This also means that Steve will be showing some sort of Apple backup app today. Cool.

    Apple must not have anything worthwhile in the pipeline to need to screw their customers so brazenly for a few bucks. Bet they'll be charging full price for the 10.2 upgrade with no upgrade duscount too. "We're going to innovate out of the slump" Yeah, right

    One thing you guys have to understand is Apple, just like every other business is out to make money from their present and future customers. This will be a good long term asset to Apple.



    While I beliebe in some ways this is very Microsoft because what if a family of four all have an iTools account, the mother and father, son and daughter, have their .mac.com e-mail and their homepages they want to Apple to serve so they can show their friends and family...well know that family is out $400 a year... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    Apple make a big fuss about everyone having a &lt;b&gt;free&lt;/b&gt; .mac.com account and now they want to charge extortionate amounts for it! They must be nuts...



    This is an absolute joke...you can get web hosting with a gig of space for under $70 a year, so why go .Mac?!



    Man this is lame...

    Jeez this sucks unless Apple offers some major incentives. Which account to use jhtrih or Crusader86? Oh the torment...

    Go and work out what it would cost to give 25 million people FREE iTools accounts. Now add in people who think "it's free, I'll have 5".



    25 million x $10 = $250 million a year



    And it costs more like $50 per head, believe me, just for old iTools.



    Why do people expect Apple to give everything away free?
