cool1986 from TX Member Since: Jun 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Weeks	Apple .Mac 5.0 Strengths: Extremely easy to use and very versatile in function. A lot of bang for the buck. Weaknesses: None noted. Summary: 2007-10-19 08:07:05 I was surprised to receive a box with an instruction booklet and a .Mac "activation key" which is a 16 digit code that you plug into the www.mac.com website to activate your membership. I was expecting a CD of some sort but this is much simpler and quicker. My wife and I have separate iMac computers and we are constantly updating the iCal calendar and the Address Book. Almost every day we sync our data so that both computers have the same accurate information. The .Mac works like a charm and it runs very quickly. We are also able to share our photos with our family using .Mac. Highly recommended... you can't go wrong with this software. 100% of People (7/7) found this review helpful.

vkristl_1098582818 Member Since: Oct 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Days	.mac 5.0 (full product, Macintosh) Strengths: Like all Mac products, very easy to install and understand. Weaknesses: For those of us who are renewing our subscriptions, it would be nice to be able to pay for and receive the key code instantly by email without having to wait for the box to be received. Summary: I've been a .mac user for 3 years. It's easy to use and an account (subscription) also gives you 10GB of file storage, syncs contacts, bookmarks, etc., allows email access from anywhere. I've used free web-based email programs but eventually had to delete accounts because of spam. I have never, repeat NEVER, received a virus nor am I inundated with spam. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

chimpzilla Member Since: Mar 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Days	Woe to those who do not heed this warning Strengths: doesn't smell like manure ... well, maybe a little Weaknesses: obsolete, expensive, second-rate functionality, poor customer service Summary: This is a largely worthless service. They offer very little beyond the free services delivered elsewhere on the web. If you want webmail, a photo gallery, etc, look to Google, Flickr, and others. I love most Apple products, but alas this isn't one of them. . The principal reason I purchased a Dot-Mac subscription was because they tout their "shared group calendar" which I mistakenly believed was "group scheduling" as offered on Apple's own iCal server (bundled with OS X server). Certainly Dot-Mac offers a common function available on Apple's own servers, right? Wrong! Apple's customer service was unapologetic about the confusion. In fact, Apple customer service down right dodgy, requiring the exchange of eight emails before they actually verified they didn't even offer group scheduling. . This was a total waste of $69. Oh, I should also mention that because I bought this subscription through a retailer, Apple refuses to refund my money. Both Apple and the retailer claim this was a software purchase ... in reality, you receive no software—only use of their internet services for a limited duration. 0% of People (0/6) found this review helpful.
