 I didn't like it May 7, 2008

I Think dot mac is buggy, slow, small, and way too expensive. And most importantly, when it comes to a web app, It's utterly unreliable. And for that, my friend, It isn't worth even the one star rating. Sorry. And I'm a mac fan and user (Imac AND a Macbook). But this just doesn't work.
 Hard to go wrong with .mac April 20, 2008

If you are a Mac household or even a home based business that runs on Macs, it would be hard to go wrong buying the .Mac service. Yes of course there are some aspects of free services such as google applications, yahoo or Windows live that provide some of these features, but not when you consider the entire package and how well it is integrated with your Mac experience.
One of my favorite aspects is the ability to Sync to Macs effortless over the internet. I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro and I am able to keep favorites, calendars, and settings between the two machines synced. I can even keep the same group of widgets on both Macs.
Next, I really like the space for a web page. Using iWeb you can easily create a great looking site without knowing one line of XML code. I literally had Apple as a web host and an iWeb page up within an hour or two. iDisk is very reasonable online storage, you have a virtual disk that allows your to store your treasured family photographs away from your house and a potential disaster.
Groups is an area that I want to get going soon as well, here you can have a family web page for instance or a group for your book club, soccer team or whatever. Any person that you give access to can reach it (on Mac, PC or Linix) and share important information.
The backup program I do not use much because I do have backup routines at home, but again here you could back all of your photographs or music on a regular basis (subject to the storage limit)
All and all, I'd expect Apple to continue to get m4 $100 per year

I have had a .mac account for three years now. I love it. And buying it from Amazon has saved me about $20 off the list renewal. It also arrived very timely.
A little expensive April 5, 2008

The .Mac product works wonderfully, especially in syncing multiple Macs together. It is a great way to share photos with and you can build a quick website that looks very professional. However, Apple has charged way too much for it!. If you can't use the sync feature (needs multiple Macs) I would suggest that you get another provider for less money and more storage. By the way 10GB in today's world is woefully inadequate. I would hope that Apple sees the way to add more storage and give .Mac some added value.

I've been using .MAC for 4 years. Apple sells it for $99. Amazon is the best deal in town. All you get is a box with a registration key.
The IMAP mail account is worth it for me. Everything else is a bonus.
