--What is it?--
Basically .Mac (dotmac) is a service, provided my Apple, which allows users to have access to a 'suite of internet applications.' It is shown on your mac (once it has been installed) as a hard drive (called an iDisk) with the following folders:
Backup
Documents
Groups
Library
Movies
Music
Pictures
Public
Sites
Software
Web
The standard package come with 1GB of file and email storage, b ut this can be increased to 2 or ... ...- iSync
You can use .Mac to share your iCal calendars, Safari bookmarks, Address Book contact and a whole variety of information from your Mac applications.
- As a 'Flash drive'
Provided your destination has access to the internet, you can use your iDisk to upload your current projects or music etc. so that at the other end you can review it, or play it back. It is really convenient as you cannot lose your flash drive or leave it at home. ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: Lack of customer service/ difficult to cancel
I used .mac for a year and I am not very pleased with the service I receieved.
For anyone who doesnt know very much about it basically .mac is a supscription service for Apple Computer Users. It includes mail, web hosting, i-disk (online hard disk) and a bundle of other useless features.
Firstly .Mac used to come with a virus application, they stopped providing this in the fee and it greatly reduced the value for money.
The mail service is not ... ...as reliable.
Customer Service is difficult to find/non-existent.
It is an expensive package for web hosting - there are much cheaper options available.
A lot of features are available free on the internet or are included with your ISP.
Finally its difficult to cancel. I have had to request MasterCard refund my money as apple automatically recharge your card even when you cancel the account online. - Naughty and not very ethical. ...

Advantages: .mac email address Disadvantages: price, sense that you have been robbed :(
...really not too impressed with .mac at all. It is overpriced, you get nothing in the box at all which leaves you with a fealing that youve got nothing for your money!
Inside the box you get some basic instructions informing you where to enter your serial number, along with your serial number. After you have entered your serial number you receive an email from mac informing you that your account has been activated and you now have 1GB space for 1 ... ...wasnt bad actually, with the .mac account it was on the internet in seconds and it wasnt bad quality. The .mac email is very usefull but again, it isnt worth paying this much every year for, persoanlly i think the .mac email is the only thing that im actually using at the moment so thats why i think its a little poor value for money. My advice to you would be to test out the iLife programs for a few days and see if you actually use them, because ...
