.Mac subscribers top 180,000
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
October 1st 2002
The mothership has nearly doubled the number of accounts it has sold
Apple has announced that more than 180,000 users have subscribed to Apple's .Mac suite
of Internet services since it was launched in July.
"The launch of .Mac has been a phenomenal success," said Sina Tamaddon, senior vice
president, applications. "And now we're adding iSync support in .Mac, enabling users
to synchronize their calendars and address books across multiple Macs connected to the
Internet."
.Mac includes 100MB of Internet storage, seamlessly integrated into Finder; Internet
hosting for personalized homepages, iPhoto digital photo albums and iCal calendars;
email service with IMAP, POP and web-based access; and anti-virus and backup software.
.Mac is a subscription-based service priced at $99.95 per year. New Mac buyers can
sign up for a free, 60-day .Mac trial. Also, .Mac is available through the Apple Store
(online, retail), and authorized resellers.
.Mac requires Mac OS X version 10.1.3 or later, 128MB SDRAM, internal CD-RW or DVD-R
drive (to create CD or DVD backups), and Netscape 4.7 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5
or later. Some features, such as Slides, Backup v.1.2 and iCal, require X.2. The Virex
anti-virus software, Mac.com email, iDisk, HomePage and iCards features of .Mac can
also be accessed using Mac OS 9.
Editor's note: I've purchased a .Mac account. So, let me put the question to you --
"If Ron Carlson jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"
