Hi guy, I bought my first ever Macbook Black, but I also accidentally signed up to the .Mac trial (thought it was the normal Windows style registration), but I've realised my trial will expire in another month - the question is can I sign up again for another trial as I would probably need it for temp storage (idrive) next month.

Secondly, I was running quite a few applications and my memory (RAM) went to 31 mb, at this point computer was slow but the graphics was also really messed up, e.g. like it couldn't re-draw, is this because of low RAM or is my computer messed up?


Sorry if these questions seem dumb, they are just bugging me.

Thanks, will check back later.

Actually you can sign up for another .Mac trial, but you will need to use a different (ISP, etc) email addy than you used the first time. Of course everything you had on the first account will lost unless you join.

For the record, I don't recommend doing this, but it can be done.
