WAMUG now has pretty large and reliable Email accounts available to
financial members. If you spoke to someone on the committee I'm sure
they would be able to arrive at some kind of deal for server space too.
I'm sure the costs involved wouldn't be anywhere near as much as a
.Mac account and everything is done local too. So it will run faster
and you won't have to pay for download on broadband (WAIX).
I'm sure one of the committee members will discuss this further, on
list, so that the rest of you thinking about .Mac may be enlightened.

Hi
Part of my ruminations over coffee this morning included whether or
not to
renew my .Mac subscription - due 9 October and costing AUD$189.
Last year I took advantage of the introductory offer at US$50 (approx
AUD$100 at the time). After the free AUD$100 Apple Store voucher, it
was a
pretty good deal :-) Some of the later freebies were also nice but
they
were mostly games, which I don't generally play. I do use the normal
.Mac
facilities - mail, server space, publishing photos etc though I have
never
really been able to get Backup to work.
So my questions are:
-has anybody seen any special offers to renew ? I have already ticked
off
the free Sims game although I doubt whether I'll ever play it.
- are there any good deals going on the boxed .Mac subscription. I've
noticed that the online Streetwise store is selling it for $169.
