Yeah , but this app. is still beta!!!!
I burned a couple of months tinkering with it and had to go back to dot mac in the end – not happy.

Hopefully Mark/Space can get it ironed out and onto the market ASAP !!!!!!!

[...] Will it be enough to silence .Mac’s many, many, many, many critics or even moderate their complaints? Only time will tell. [...]

You don’t need .Mac to use iChat. When you set up your iChat account it registers with .Mac, but the iChat account is free and not tied to having to subscribe.

Also, there are other software solutions for syncing your computers’ address book, bookmarks, etc. Lookup MySync on VersionTracker.

I was thinking of joining because of iChat.
There’s a certain irony that Apple now has iSight cameras built-in…
Sell more Macs, get more .Mac users, get more .Mac problems to a wider audience…
My decision is on hold.

.Mac outages used to drive me nuts . nowadays my main email address is the one connected with my personal domain . i have .Mac mail set to forward all mail to that address , and i’ve deleted the account from mail.app’s settings . i know , it’s not a solution – but at least now i never notice . the _only_ reason i still pay for .Mac is the ability to sync my computers …

Well, I think you have coined an apt term for Apple’s relationship with the media, frankly!

Perhaps, like George on Seinfeld spurred a whole generation of people who eat chocolate bars with a knife and fork, you will spur a generation of journalists who gleefully write “Apple reclined to comment” and hope the subs don’t pick it up ;-)

Ok, now I get what all the clever comments were about :)

That would be a typo. Apple would never take that sort of criticism laying down and I am not that witty!

AAAAHAHA! “Apple reclined to comment.”

That is either one of the funniest unintentional typos I’ve ever seen, or an exceptional piece of wit, Mr Gaden :-)

Indeed Derik and Tim. While I have committed to .Mac for the long haul, I’m getting pretty annoyed at their reputation as of late as well.

They’re not and they’re hardly kept up to date either. It’s sad really that Apple is struggling so much with something that should be fairly basic.
