Thanks Dan, that's something to look into. I have a "formerly known as iTools" account which I am debating to keep as a
.Mac account. As a previous member the service for another year is $49.95 and provides web space, virus protection, and backup service as well as the email addy. For about a dollar a week I'll probably go for it. The rumor mill has been saying they may continue the free service for email only, we'll see. In the meantime, and pardon me from straying from our strictly StarMax policy, here are some pages I have put up using iTools and Goliath to do the FTP. Offered as fun and thanks for the great Maxens out there and in case they come down and are never seen again (oh pity); this is not an ad and no geckos were hurt in the filming. http://homepage.mac.com/gmetz/PhotoAlbum9.html warning! adult theme and situation! do not view if you are sensitive to sarcasm and making fun of Barbie�: http://homepage.mac.com/gmetz/Barbie'sSleepover/PhotoAlbum4.html a small collection of Simpsons' sounds especially relating to computers, internet, and the Leader (even though we hate him this week), get them before Apple or Fox does: http://homepage.mac.com/gmetz/Simpson_Sounds/FileSharing7.html George Dan Knight wrote: > Unless Apple changes their mind, mac.com email addresses are *not* going > to be free after Sept. 30.
