12. Mac ("Dot Mac")

Want to design a quick, attractive personal website with a click of the mouse? Need to share your vacation photos with friends anywhere on the planet? Interested in instant access to critical files, whether at the office or at home?

For $99.00 a year, Mac users can subscribe to .Mac (called "Dot Mac"), pictured in Figure 3. .Mac allows subscribers to publish websites and share photos with ease. .Mac automatically syncs information (including address book entries, calendar appointments, and email messages) across multiple Macs. In addition to a virus-protected "@mac.com" email address, it also provides space on Apple's servers for file storage and backups.

Figure 3. .Mac (pronounced "Dot Mac") provides email, web and photo publishing, file syncing and sharing, backup services, and more for one annual fee.


Although many of these features are offered by other web-based services at various prices, for one-click simplicity, it's hard to beat .Mac.
