I was hesitant to get .Mac, but after seeing mobile me, I thought I'd give it a try. I got a .Mac box for $56 with free shipping at royaldiscount.com, which is a sweet deal. Would I pay $99 a year? It works out to $8 a month. That's not too bad, but at $56, I'm only paying 4.66 a month. Yes, there are free alternatives, but I'll give this a try.
