[MacDV] Keeping .mac?

[Gerhard]

I agree with Shirley it is pretty good value.  I have GoLive 6 if I 
want to make a real web-page but for sharing photos, movies, files etc. 
the templates included with the .Mac account let you make a web-page in 
5 minutes.  Lot's of times I have a pictures of family events up the 
day they happened, people love it especially kids.  We also attend two 
or three conventions a year and usually post pictures of those shortly 
after the event and we always receive positive feed back on these.  A 
bunch of us from our area go to a taping of the Red Green Show taping 
in Toronto and it is kind of nice to share those pictures as well.  In 
conclusion I know that I would never share all these pictures if it 
wasn't for convenience the .Mac account provides, so to me it is money 
well spent.
