dotMac storage upped to 1/4 Gig (from 100Mb)
.Mac’s storage has been upped to 250MB.
“The combined storage for your .Mac Mail and iDisk has been increased to 250 MB. That means you now have additional room for your email messages and mail attachments, web pages, and backups. Need even more storage? You also have the option of upgrading your .Mac account to 1 GB for US$49.95 per year.”
I was seriously thinking about letting my .mac sub lapse this month - but with the increase in storage seems to be less of a rip-off.
It’s not that much more space though, is it… The common comparison is with Google’s “free” 1GB of Mail storage.
I’m not so sure that it’s such a good comparison though: These services rely on the fact that not every user will fill their space to capacity (my GMail account is currently at 0% capacity!) - so the service provider can actually have less total capacity than would be theoretically required to satisfy all their customers. (Broadband ISPs do this too.)
Even geeks have problems filling a gig of Mail usefully, but your average Joe (or Joanna) could easily stuff a gig of Video onto dotMac for streaming.
Plus with dotMac you don’t get Scary Ads that may or may not be relevant to the email you were just sent.
It seems that you have to specifically divide the space yourself.
