"Call me cheap, but with the economy going in the toilet, I just cannot stay on the cutting edge any longer"
One reason the economy is tanking is because people aren't spending money!! Of course, no one has money because we have to buy gas!
But that's for another forum.
I use Firefox and the Google Toolbar so I always have my bookmarks available. I know, I know. Google is probably cataloguing the sites with my email address, but I don't have anything to hide....yet.
I think I'll drop by the ATT store and pick up an iPhone. I should be able to walk right in and out in a matter of minutes...right???

According to the .Mac status page, they changed it to 8:00PM PDT. They must be having problems.

Hmmm... It's 9:52 in Mississippi, and I just logged in to my .Mac account. What's the deal?!

I can't access .mac or mobileme or do the software update for mobile me, but my iPhone is still getting mail from my .Mac so at least some part of it is working.

I was able to download the MobileMe update on my MacBook Pro early this morning (9am or so Eastern) but not on my iMac later in the day. I cannot sign in to MobileMe (on the MBP) or .Mac (on the iMac) as of now (4pm or so Eastern).

I'm very glad I moved my data off my iDisk before all this started...

STILL down on Friday at 8:45 am ET. Two whole days? With NO warning? Why couldn't they email us? Or at least put it in the ".Mac Blog?" I'm really astonished at this lack of basic customer service.

Wow, Really? Mine's working fine. For a while there I was getting 2 of the same emails. I'm sure each one was to my .Mac and .Me addresses. I sure wish I could synch my notes. I still can't believe that they can't make that work.

Its been a nightmare. And Im not the only one I know.....as far as Im concerned Apple have treated their former .mac customers with contempt and I intend to treat them the same way. I'm in the process of making a fairly complicated switch of all my online business over to gmail. Shame, but I cant trust Apple anymore.

I can't blame you. I'd probably do the same thing. Apple hasn't disappointed me yet so I'll stick around and see what happens.
I certainly have no complaints about Gmail. The email is very bare-bones, but their spam filter is incredible. Spam hardly ever makes it through and I've yet to have good mail get marked as spam. Google leads the way again!
