how many of you pay to use the .mac service?
must need to start doing more backups so wondered if it was worthwhile using it.
if not, are there other maybe better services?

your money is better spend on a external harddrive
.mac sucks imo.

opinion noted, thank you

it makes sense if you have like 4 Macs in different places you want to synchronize... and I do like having my bookmarks always synched across Safari on all the Macs, and also available on my PC, (and on any computer actually) without having to do anything...
but for backup, get an external drive and Retrospect.

they are missing the boat with this service...
What iit should be is web 2.0 like features...
back-up, photo gallery, homepage, blogging area, ..etc.
Not worth the money YET- get a n external drive for backup- and use
for bookmarking

.Mac does do a lot of other stuff: photo galleries (Homepage), discussion groups, Backup to iDisk or local disk, Synching (bookmarks, address books, calendars, Keychains, Mail Accounts (useful for your non IMAP accounts), Mail Rules, Signatures and Smart Mailboxes), and its a pretty good mail service (IMAP plus webmail).

We have .Mac at home, and every year I say I'm not going to renew. But the kids use it for posting photos and videos, so I always end up keeping it.
