Yeah, unfortunately, Apple is very mac excrentric. You have to have
a dot mac account to subscribe to thhe list. You can of course sign
up for the 30-day free trial, subscribe, and let the trial elapse.
You'll still be subscribed to the list, and your login will still
work for other groups there too if you sign up to others. The reason
they require that is because of the file system that comes with the
group. Since it's on my IDisk, it requires you to be a dot mac
member to access the files on the idisk. At the moment, there aren't
any files there, but I'm hoping to begin posting scripts and programs
for making programming simpler.

sign up for a dot Mac account, there was not any mention of a group

Subject: Mac programming group started
Hello all. I'm sure I'm not the only programmer on this list.
So, as a result, thanks to Apple's new dotmac groups (yes,
they're doing it now too) I've just created a group for
programmers who are blind or visually impaired. I'd like to use
it to try to help blind programmers work with the various mac
tools, such as XTools, terminal, gcc, and the like. The page is
at http://groups.mac.com/ voprogrammers/ Anyone wishing to join,
simply go there, and sign-up. I'll get a message, and approve
you as soon as I can. I hope we can work together to create many
useful applications for the mac.
