[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 143145, member: 9169"] I did the 60 day trial and didn't see any real benefit beyond a neato mac.com email address. I don't need .mac's "read my mail anywhere" service, as I can already do that through my other email accounts. I can also POP my mail from Yahoo, gmail, and my ISP when I have a live internet connection to my iBook (which I do not have while I'm at my office). I have a concern about my personal information and files being "backed up" to a server that's not on my premises and not under my control. For this reason alone, it's not a benefit. The other side of this is that I have to make sure I manually backup my machine regularly. I also pay for my own webhosting elsewhere, so the web space offers no benefit to me. Just my $.02 as to why I won't spend $99. :-) [/QUOTE]
