There, I said it. You know why?

I'm at my in-laws in Orlando for Xmas, but my MacBook is in the shop in KC. It should be ready when I get out. But for now, I'm jumping on their Powerbook every so often.

Normally, this would be a PITA, have to set stuff up, etc. With .Mac, I don't need to carry my settings with me or any of that. Jump on, set up my own account, open up the .Mac control panel, pick what I want to sync, and BAM, it syncs. Got my bookmarks, email accounts and settings, address book, and the rest. Pretty damned effortlessly.

The space is nice too. But really...is that worth a hundred bucks or so a year to me? Considering that in the last week, I've had to use that facility about 5 times...yes. Yes it is.

LOVE .Mac.

Wow. You are among the last I would have thought to make such a pledge of adoration, but, hey, glad you're digging it like the rest of us happily paying 2-10 times that amount for families and employees. Is it perfect? No. Does it work for us? Yes. Yes, and yes. Should we feel dirty and succumb to all the naysayers who deride it almost daily? Not a chance. And if anyone doesn't think the iPhone and iTouch and iTunes and AppleTV, et al, will continue to shape it into an amazing platform, well, you have little vision.

Happy Christmas
