Is it worth it?

I'm thinking of getting a .MAC account. Do you guys think it's worth it? Anyone here have one? Let me know!

When I first switched, I got a one year .Mac subscription ($100) and never used it very much, at least not $100 worth

. I regretted getting it because I never used it very much.

I just bought my first .Mac account about a month ago.. and I haven't used it much yet, either.

I have had one for 2 years now. But I don't think I will be renewing it in September for a third year.

I think $100 is a bit steep.

Once I get my iBook, I doubt i'll need a .Mac account, considering I have MSN DSL, which provides webspace,etc. Although if I had the money I would consider getting an account.

Now that I use Flickr, I don't really use it for the Web space like I used to but I really love the ability to sync my Macs. I did a sync last night of my address book & contacts so my iBook is all up-to-date for travelling. I also like to sync my mail settings so when my iBook is set up, I just sync it & I don't have to bother setting up a duplication of my email settings from my main computer.

I also like the ability to pop mail from another account, which I use when I travel. I just wish it weren't blocked at work.
