        Frankly, I don't begrudge Apple the $49 for my mac.com account. I 
used Yahoo for a good amount of time, and stopped when they started 
charging for it. To be honest, I am thankful for the three years of free 
e-mail, web page hosting, and disk space I have received. And when it 
goes up to $99, I don't mind it much. Granted, it was free when I signed 
on for it back in 1999, but things have changed tremendously since then. 
For the money, iTools looks like a pretty decent deal. Considering that 
I pay $15 a month ($180 a year) for AOL over TCP/IP. Considering that 
.mac is similar to AOL, and at close to half the price, I don't see why 
this seems to be such an issue.

        As for the price of the OS X 10.2 update, I'm also planning on 
picking up a copy when finances permit. 10.1 is fine and all, but I'm 
willing to pay for all the added features.

        Just my $.02 .
