[QUOTE="schweb, post: 10133, member: 59"] It depends on what you use .Mac for if it's worth the price. It now comes with many free software packages or free memberships to other sites (versiontracker, etc) as well as free rebate information that makes it well worth the money if you use it. As for AntiVirus, while there aren't really Mac specific viruses out there in the wild at the moment, it doesn't mean there won't ever be one. But on a more practical note, while it is almost impossible to get a Mac virus, you can pass on Windows viruses or get MS Office Macro viruses if you use Office. Because I do alot of sharing with PCs, I run Norton Antivirus for Mac 9.0 and I really like it. As others have pointed out, if you do get .Mac you get McAffee Virex 7.0 for free. I feel Norton is a better product though. [/QUOTE]
