Thought something was up this morning when I turned on my computer and was told my disk image size didn't match the server.

I wasn't sure what was going on with that error. Glad it was actually good news!

Long overdue

I'm glad to see they've finally upgraded the service, just in time too. My subscription is up for renewal later this week and I don't know if I could have justified the expense with the old limits.

Maybe we'll even get php/sql in the future... but I'm not going to start holding my breath for it.

A good APPLE

Thanks Apple. I just renewed and was considering extra storage. The ability to put the storage where I need it is great. The ability to Alias is nice too and I did not know we were even able to do that. Keep up the good work. I now feel good about .Mac and renewing it!

Neat stuff; you can actually change the ratio of storage allocated between email and iDisk which is quite nice.

E-mail only accounts are bumped up to 50MB which is significantly more than before.

Not to mention services feel much smoother today...

1 GB should be free

Geeze, 250 MB for $100/year service? And whopping $150/year for 1 GB? At the very least, 1 GB should've been included at no extra cost.

More than just storage

09/29, 12:47pm reply

Well, you obviously get much more than just the 250MB of storage for the $99 per year fee of course...

finally...

Well hopefully in the future they will continue to add more features and disk space... With the price of storage dropping almost on a daily basis, I can't imagine that they wouldn't eventually give us 1gb.
