Dot Mac Buh Buy

After two years of Dot Mac service I decided to give it up. What's interesting is that I don't miss it. Dot Mac failed to keep me due to very simple things it lacked. One sore spot is the amount of disk space provided. This item has been on Dot Mac user minds for months and Apple's strategy towards disk space doesn't make sense relative to other offerings from Yahoo, Google, etc. I also became frustrated with how limited Dot Mac's web site was. On Yahoo using Windows, I can enter calendar events and then sync them to Outlook. Why can I not create calendar events on Dot Mac and have them sent to iCal? And what is with the slow speeds from the web sites posted on my Dot Mac site. Ultimately, too many frustrations to deal with when other alternatives in the market place exist. Perhaps Leopard will bring some new Dot Mac enhancements and it seems that Steve Jobs has alluded to that. If I come back, I'll need a reason. And for heavens sakes....stop wasting time on features like Group sites. My arm can be twisted with the right enhancements and performance fixes.
