I gave in.

I upgraded my now-defunct iTools account to a .Mac account. And yes, I did wait until the last minute of the last day for an upgrade. emedoutlet.com

Funny that the half-off offer ends today, a federal holiday. Federal holiday means banks are closed. Closed banks mean that the deposit I made on Saturday has not gone through. Deposit that hasn't gone through means not enough moolah on the check card to upgrade.

I had to do it the old fashioned way. I called the 800 number, and was able to do a electronic check. Score!

Watch me pull the same crap next year, when I shall debate whether to pay $99 a year instead... oy.

i caved, too ...

they better have some kick-ass services and features by next year if they expect me to pony up that much. maybe i'll start phasing out my @mac.com email address, starting now ...

i guess the 100 free photo prints is kind of nice. :)

Uhh. I paid for this on Monday, and the .Mac homepage still wants me to re-activate. I guess another phone call is in order.

I guess being assimilated is harder than it looks!

I couldn't bring myself to spend the money just to have an email address that was mac.com.

There was absolutely nothing of value there for me.

I'm curious why you all did it?
