Customer Reviews:

Can be bargain method to renew existing account! [Posted on 2005-10-10]
The authorization code in the box can be used not only to open a new dot Mac account, but can also be used to renew an existing subscription (normally $99). If you're a renewing subscriber, you can usually save money by purchasing the retail box here at Amazon.

Dot Mac [Posted on 2005-10-11]
I find this product indespensible. I am able to sync all my computers anywhere I have internet access. It is a good value for the price.

Improves every year [Posted on 2005-10-24]
I've been a user of .mac since the free days, and happy to discover that the annual renewals are cheaper when bought from Amazon. Paying for all of this is the one mark against it, but I can't fault Apple for covering their costs. They offer good extras for the money. E-mail has been very reliable for me, and the integration with my data for syncing and backing up is a bonus.

Ease of use only selling point. [Posted on 2006-02-02]
You could get all the services elsewhere for free, but .Mac puts them all in one place and intergrates with your computer(s) seamlesly. I have been a user for many years and don't see that changing anytime soon. I hope they continue to improve the services as it grows.

Simplify your digital life with this powerful tool. [Posted on 2006-02-18]
The .Mac suite of services is a very powerful tool yet comphrehensive enough for anybody to use. Not only that but it is a constantly evolving interactive tool as well.
Just in the last year I am amazed at the amount of interface tutorials and upgrades that have been added to my account. All free of charge!
I am not sure what it is like from the PC perspective but I can tell you that as a Mac user it handles my digital photo's, calender, address book and maybe most significant of all, the backup of my important files and information.
Wow!
Throw in web publishing with no need for any training or knowledge of html.
More bang for your hundred bucks than anything else I have used including software, hardware, online services, galleries, email services and the list goes on.
To top it off I can access the full scope of services and all my files from any computer anywhere in the world. My web pages are easily viewable by those using Apple or PC platforms too.
The only thing it hasn't done on a "click" is upload Adobe psd files but that is easily accomplished by converting those to tiff or jpeg.
Good luck!
