yes every so often Apple does something wonderful, such as the iTools and its "free email for life", however theses days are plagued with stupid decisions just as the days prior to John firing Uncle Steve Apple has a 5% Market share, they produce a superior machine and a Superior OS, however even my faith as a Mac Evangelist is shaken, to the point I have considered replacing my ailing 4 year old iMac with a WIntel box rather than deal with the pains of Apple and Steve intentionally rying to destroy the Mothership. all I ask is that you sign this petetion, http://www.PetitionOnline.com/iTol/petition-sign.html? and let Apple know what you feel (at the time of my posting there were over 21 thousand signatures) iBob (or maby, BobXP) ------------------ IP: Logged |

oh Im not whining, its just that I believe when you are going to advertise something as free for life, then thays what you should be held to, the only thing that really irks me beyond loosing a POP acvcount that wasnt getting spammed like a Hawaiian grocer, is that I will also loose my Avatar at Spymac, because thts where its hosted, and I liked to put photoshops there when photoisland was down, besides it seems to me that Apple is slowly turning into Microsoft, only more evil ------------------ IP: Logged |

my only problem is that it is 100 dollars for non current members, and next year. ok, so it includes virex...... virex may be what, 60$? i don't want to bother buying it every friggin year! same thing with backup, it will be updated once every 4 years..... 30-40$ seems fair to me, but not 50-100 ------------------ IP: Logged |

Well, I've signed the stop .mac whiners petition. I'm also petitioning my U.S. Senator to identify all .mac whiners and have them assume the National Debt. I think one day -- that's teach 'em to whine about a free service that's no longer free. Colonel Panic IP: Logged |
