Maybe some of us aren't objecting to getting charged, just to getting
charged full boat.

Yeah, Bruce, *except* - that's on top of having to have an ISP to dial up
.Mac...(and pay for it, too). Even AOL's BYO (Internet) service requires
you to have an ISP (and it's less per month than .Mac, correct?).
Inaccurate comparison, IMHO.
I actually can see more justification for .Mac's services, since I'm
betting that Apple's costs for providing the 100MB of storage, etc. is
likely more than the cost of pressing another hundreds/thousands of
CDROMs for 10.2 (Haven't heard, but I'm guessing Apple has very little in
printing costs - by only printing the box and not a manual). (Guess we'll
see another Missing Manual coming soon... :-)
