Apple's new .Mac/Contribute promo offers a bundle of .Mac services (for 1 year) and Macromedia's Contribute 2 product for $150, a savings of $100 over regular pricing. The promo is only available via the Apple Store (online or by phone) and requires that both products be purchased as a bundle product by January 31, 2004. It is not valid with Apple’s education institution purchase programs or other discount programs. Earlier this month, Apple offered an exclusive $20 discount on Contribute 2 to .Mac customers.

nope. honestly, if you're using dreamweaver mx to update your idisk provided home page, you are swatting a fly with a sledgehammer. in this respect, contribute makes much more sense for those who want to maintain a .mac home page, but not manage it via a web interface.
and remember, apple knows you CAN use the idisk space for a non-.mac-homepage-generated site, but they won't support it, and you're on your own. so i would be surprised if you see macromedia sink any r&d into making dreamweaver mx 200x .mac compatible.

"We can't check the vital signs of every computer Apple ships. We can, however, report on the quality of the PowerBooks we've received, and that report is not encouraging. Of six 15-inch PowerBooks Macworld ordered from a non-Apple retailer, three had to be returned. One repeatedly locked up and experienced kernel panics after being unplugged from an external monitor, another's fan ran constantly, and another displayed only the magenta video channel when plugged into an external display. So if you absolutely must have this PowerBook now, be prepared for potential problems."
"The screen on the 1.25GHz 15-inch PowerBook used for this review exhibited a white blotch about the size of a dime when we put a white background (such as a blank Microsoft Word document) on the desktop. And the latch on this PowerBook locked inconsistently -- the lid occasionally popped up after it had been closed for a couple of seconds. Reports of such latch problems are widespread on the Discussions area of Apple's Web site and on other Mac-related sites."
