That's exactly the reason I kept .mac two years, but that's about the only
feature I found useful. And then I switched to posting pictures on
Shutterfly.com, because friends and relatives all over could not only see
them instantly, they could also order prints. And it's free (as are several
other, similar sites). When we started doing that, the rest of .mac didn't
seem either important or something I couldn't find somewhere else less
expensively or free.

But hey, to each his own. The one thing I was hopeful about was when they
began to offer backup software, but I ended up not liking that program at
all.
