I agree. However, I find it disconcerting that Apple it OVERCHARGING 
Canadian users for the same service. By over 40%!

Sound like a fanboy to me. Tell you what. When you upgrade your .mac 
account why don't you pay for mine and I'll pay for yours. Let's see 
how your loaf of bread tastes when it costs $50+ (including taxes) 
for the exact same texture and flavour.

Thanks for you input.
