Sergievsky Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I'm on the 60day trial...not sure whether the benefits are worth the $100 bucks a year. Whaddaya think? Raul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan South Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Haven't checked it out yet, because I'm still on OS 9.1. Does that make a difference? Do you need to be on X? What does .mac offer? The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbox Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 [b]Raul[/b], the current issue (November 2002) of [url=http://www.macworld.com/magazine/]MacWorld[/url] magazine has a good article entitled, [i]What's [url=http://www.mac.com/].Mac[/url] Worth?[/i], that covers both the pros & cons of having a .Mac account and the alternatives as well. [b]Dan[/b], while .Mac is optimized for OS X users, OS X is not required. There's a lot that OS 9 users can benefit from as well. I'm still an OS 9 user, and I have a .Mac account. I got in on the ground floor, so I paid $50 for service this year. Right now, I'm mostly just using .Mac to host my résumé and avatar; but I'm also enjoying the free Virex software that comes as part of the package as well. Best, Geoff Enthusiasm powers the world.

offramp Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I did. I figured that at even the regular rate, it comes down to having an ISP for about 8.5 bucks a month (so my intro rate makes it very worthwhile). Since I'm not a web-intensive sort, the deal is good for me. Ideally, I'd like to design my own website and stick it on there, but for now, their offerings work just fine. I'm on 9.1, and it may be a tad slow getting into iDisk, it works fine for me. homepage.mac.com/echohaus/ I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

Sergievsky Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 thanks geoff. I'll check out the article. It sounds really dumb, but I like having the .mac email account. :cool: Raul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
