  1. .mac member since 2003; bring back he iCards and .mac. I absolutely detest using @me.com. I have no problem paying but again why did they have to throw all of us out the window for me.com. Please Apple dobyou hear me now???

  2. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

    If you’re using a “free” online service, you have no say in how they run the site.

    Companies like Google prey on people via their “free” services. I’d rather have a relationship with a company where I can cost them if I leave. (Sure, I probably wouldn’t cost them a whole lot, but it would be something. How much do you cost Google or Facebook if you decide to leave?)

  3. those free sevices are junk!!!
    mobileme is amazing
    webhosting, email, sync multiple computers/devices
    for less then $2 per week

    there are far too many cheap ass PC users coming to mac with the silly PC ideals

  4. “iTools user since announced that it would be ‘free for life.'”

    It was free for life . . . for the life of iTools!

  5. Multiple iTools accounts still in play from at least 2001.

    I want Apple to allow bringing aliases into standard accounts, not simple family packs. I cannot believe Apple has taken so long to address this issue, and it’s still not right.
