"Dear iTools member,



In response to many last minute requests, we've extended the opportunity to join .Mac at the special US$49.95 iTools member price to October 14, 2002."



Interesting.

"Dear iGeneration sucker,



In response to the incredibly poor take-up, we've extended the opportunity to force you to join .Mac to keep your e-mail address and access all features of our latest software at the expensive US$49.95 iTools member price to October 14, 2002."

Well, I caved in already. 49.95 (pus tax......WTF?) and 10.00 for my wife's email (oh, plus tax for that too).



I'm over it.

There's no announcement in either of the two accounts I haven't updated either, Mulattabianca.



Of course, the announcements don't always go out at the same time. I've had one arrive in one e-mail account one day and it not arrive in the other account for another full 24 hours.

Can't you buy a boxed version at apple retailers?

anders

A boxed version?



Does it include a ethernet cable or what?

This brings up a good point... what actually comes in the boxed version?

From the Apple Store:

[quote]<strong>The .Mac retail boxed version includes a one-year membership to .Mac and a CD containing Virex anti-virus software, Apple Backup software, iDisk Utility, and iPhoto.</strong><hr></blockquote>

I got the email announcement, too.



Like that SNL skit goes- You can suck on it, and then suck on it some more. Just keep suckin' on it. ...and after that, suck on it some more...

Bah come on...when are we going to slough off all the dead weight? You cheapskates are using all the iDisk bandwidth, I just know it.

I am real tempted to get my good old .mac account back!!! But having two domains and 4 address' seems like a waste getting another

not unlike myself

And I won't be signing up then either.
