Apple says that they had 100,000 users as of last week with 1000 new subscribers signing up each day. That number will drop when the ability to convert existing accounts at $49 expires. I have yet to meet anyone who can truthfully say they bought a Mac because the .Mac service was free. I would rather see Apple spend its money on hardware/software innovations that do result in computer sales. It amazes me that if Apple opened up Apple branded merchandise for sale, a lot of the people would spend $$$ for Mac t-shirts, baseball caps, keychains and bumper stickers. All of this to advertise we love our Macs. Pay for a .mac email address - heaven forbid. Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
