When will Apple update .Mac ??
What is with Apple's lack of support for .Mac?
It needs a lot of work and there's no word on any updates any time soon from Apple.
What .Mac should have by now for $99/year:
1) MORE STORAGE!!
2) More services, such as podcasting, blogging, etc.
3) New website naming (such as www.yourname.mac)
4) Better SPAM filtering (including reporting)
5) Better exclusive content, such as iDVD themes, etc.
Really, it seams that we're stuck with it. When it first began (iTools) it was a great idea. Now I feel stuck with the email address - and quite frankly I feel no reason to renew it this year unless they pull out some serious overhauls. Who here feels the same?

If you have more than one mac, it pays.
I use the email address (several actually) the backup facility and throw in photos and short movies for distant family members. It doesn't need a lot of new features for me to keep paying (not at about $8 a month), but I believe it needs some serious work to capture a lot of the new Mac switchers.
