For all of you who switched to Hotmail after steaming over .Mac

I dunno about you, but I'd rather have .Mac for $4.17 a month than a crappy web e-mail interface that deletes your messages once they are 30 days old.

I'd rather buy a domain name for $1 a month and run my own email server than supporting Apple's let's-play-Microsoft-and-monopolize-the-Mac-platform strategy.

4.17 a year? hmm. last time i checked it was 99 per year.

I'm pretty sure he meant $4.17 a month... and it's not $99 a year, it's $50 right now. (Well, actually, $49.95, but that nickel doesn't make a big difference)

I'll gladly pay that extra $3.17 a month and get 100 MB of free disk space, and the ability NOT to have to set up and do my own e-mail server.

:shrug: Whatever floats your boat.

Yeah, and I meant $4.17 a month... I always do that. :\

If you were going to lease a TV for 5 years, would you go for the shop charging $50 the first year and $100 the four other years, or would you go for the one charging 75$ all 5 years?

I'd actually rather pay $30 extra every month for a 1 Mbit SDSL line and get my whole HD online for free

BTW, when you pay $8.25 per month for .Mac, are the 100 MBs of storage free?
And, when you pay $129 for Mac OS X, are the applications that come with it free?

Does anyone know if there is still a bandwidth limit on .Mac sites like there was with iTools? Because if there was, then the whole reason to host sites on it (in my case anyway) is gone.
