Thanks, but no thanks.
A few days ago, I got what I assume is my last "Please come back" email from Apple's groveling department encouraging me to renew my MobileMe account...
Thanks, guys, but no thanks.
I signed up for MobileMe (called ".Mac" at the time) in September of 2007 on an impulse. I had just purchased a new aluminum iMac, and wanted to be able to sync data between my PowerBook and it, but over the last year, I slowly started to discover several free or inexpensive web-based apps that did exactly what MobileMe offered (and often did a better job).
With Dropbox (replacing iDisk), Delicious (for keeping track of bookmarks), Google Calendar (for syncing iCal), Gmail (now with IMAP), and Yahoo! mail (for syncing my address book), I really don't need to spend another $109. If I had an iPhone, I might have a different opinion, but overall, MobileMe just too dang expensive.
