.mac (silly name) deadline extended. Can't be a good indicator!

I thought about joining... I honestly thought... and then I realized... I don't NEED any of that stuff!

This is really the point...why pay for anything...regardless of whether it is $50 or $100...if I just don't need it? The 100 included iPhoto prints is nice, but, then again, isn't the reason I went to digital photography was that I didn't want all those pictures hanging around?!?

I just wish we could have that offer in Australia... I LOVE photos but I hate having masses of bad photos. That is why I have a printer and printer paper.

180,000 x 49 = 8,820,000

I think that is a pretty damn good indicator. I agree with a few other people that Apple wanted to let people use iSync with .mac and possibly lure a few thousand more people to join.

People can whine about having to pay for what was once free, but I am glad to take the extra, what 10MB, of email storage space, a free addicting game, antivirus software, and a bucketload of idisk space, that i primarily use to backup my documents automatically to.

Way to go Apple!

[edit]Oh yeah, I just ordered my first 70 free pictures from iPhoto. I actually got 110 free pictures, as I used an non .mac apple id to sign up for oneclick. When I switched it to my .mac account, I got another 10 free pictures. Why would I want all those pictures hanging around? They are not for me, they are for my relatives who like to have pictures to show their friends. Not everyone is digital. I ordered one 20x30 picture of my 3 yearold nephew, I will have to report on the quaility. I have one 16x20, and it looks incredible.[/edit]

Well, All I can say is .Mac is a ripoff. Thus I'm attempting to step up to the plate with the free acounts at www.northernswamp.com, like .mac we have a free level. and paying levels, well... I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Are you on the pay roll for this company or something? You have posted exactly the same message on 2 threads in < 10 minutes and you have the company in your signature, who is going to believe the word of someone who is getting paid to say something?

If you are going to say the same thing twice, so am I:

Prove it!


Also, that link of yours is stuffed, you put a comma after the com

The only package that they have that can be half compared to Apple's is $107.88 per year

250MB, .com, 10 email @northernswamp

While those features are greater than those with Apple, you are paying more and getting less.
