Dunno Linda... 40+% more for the exact same service sounds like 
overcharging to me. Actually, the Canadian dollar is worth 3-4% more 
than the US buck so it should be even cheaper than the US cost. At 
the very least, it should be at par. Regardless, the consumer 
*always* has the last word. I won't renew my .mac account.

Thanks for your input.
