Which makes me wonder WHY oh WHY !!!  .. Why does apple have an "improve
your iDisk" utility .. Why are they not integrating it into the whole thing
???  What is the sense in "use iDisk, get frustrated, hope you have a nice
UG and find out there is a little extra schmading you need to add" ... Makes
me furious ... So far I am NOT continuing my .mac account come next
september ... 

But thanks again charles for the heads up
