The Mobile Me Paradox

I’ve been a .Mac subscriber for almost a year now and have found it pretty handy, mostly for iDisk, and the some Mac settings that sync. With the recent introduction of MobileMe, I’m left a bit perplexed. On launch day I tried to bring up http://mac.com, the old .Mac address and found the maintenance page telling me I needed to hold my horses. That’s fine. I fully empathize with deployment pains. So day two rolls around and I finally get to log into .Mac, now Me.com.

This was my nice greeting...
