| .Mac E-Mail Compromise? Looks like Apple might already be bowing to pressure and possibly keeping a basic "free" .mac Email service alive... Check this link I hope so. Cutting off the email spigot will be very bad for Apple, PR wise....

| I'll bet you Apple is not going to charge. I'll be paying the initial $50 fee for the first year, though. If Apple comes out with some compelling services by that year's end, I would be entirely willing to continue to pay the $100/month fee. Let's hope Apple IS going to keep e-mail accounts free!

| that sucks a**!!!!! you know how many homepage.mac.com websites most mac users have? for an example..i have around 10, not that i NEED them, i mean, i have em all backed onto my comp and will probably delete them in a year or two but i spent a lot of time on those sites and if the only way i can have my email back is to get rid of them well...that kinda sucks. do you think apple will release a .Mac LITE which includes webhosting and email only? (thats all i use anyways) or will they make this email only account publicly announced?
