In this age, consumers expect their technology to work for them. This requires integration of things like calendars, email, web space, backups, contact and communication information etc. We have several choices when looking for services that will integrate and synchronize our data for free, including Microsoft's "Live" service and A huge range from Google. For Apple users, such integration is possible and whats more - simple. Furthermore the level of integration with the OS is , in my opinion, unparalleled. Why is it then that I should pay for similar services from Apple, despite the fact that I have already purchased a product Neither Microsoft or Google require a purchase of any kind for use of their services. I propose that Apple give .Mac away for free to all its customers and I urge you to sign this petition to support me. Thanks for your support Matt Constable
