Me three!
I did because of the introductory price for previous iTools users, plus the fact that I feel iTools/.Mac is a very useful platform.
Btw, I do agree the price should be lowered and I'm not sure if this petition has surfaced here but if you want to send a message to Apple to lower the price the time is now (I signed it and I encourage others to do the same):

125 megs does not equal triple the storage space of .Mac. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't .Mac gives you 100 megs of space? There also seemed to be many more restrictions in what you could host at the site you listed, sayitfast. Secondly, the site you listed isn't exactly the same thing. It's simply a web hosting place. That requires you to have your own registered domain name. That's another yearly cost right there (I know because I own 14 domain names). Thirdly, you don't get the ease of transfer that iTools gives you. For some using an FTP client is complicated. Not to me, granted, but we're talking average users here. Fourthly, .Mac gives you a top rated virus checker program and some other utilities that this company you posted does not. Lastly, the company you posted has only been around since '99. I think I'd rather trust my data -- and more importantly credit card information -- to a company that has been around longer. One like Apple computers.

From the website you posted, my mathematically challenged friend, sayitfast:

Full featured webhosting for only $9.95 a month (or $9.18/month yearly). No gimmicks. No "extra" services costing "extra" money. Instead everything you need for one low price!

Even if we take the $9.18 yearly price and times by 12 months in a year we get $110.16. .Mac is only $100 a year, so which is cheaper? And if you're a previous iTools user upgrading it's only $50.

I did
Actually, the 100 MB storage is going to be handy. I was running short on space. I've been using iTools and also intend to use the service to the max, not just for email. The fun of posting iPhoto pages images/icons/grin.gif
Made with iPhoto in less than 5 minutes.
