Right now, I wonder if it is even worth it.<br><br>I can not load a 400mb file to my .Mac account.<br><br>I have tried Goliath, from the Finder, and .Mac via Safari and Firefox. Each time, it will time out and I lose the connection with the .Mac server.<br><br>_______<br>

iDisk has been really acting up lately. I've had problems too. I tried for two hours yesterday to clear out some junk in my iDisk. I think I managed to delete about 4 or 5 files before giving up.<br><br>

I find the $100 or $70 a year, excessive. A one time payment I can live with but not yearly. There are other avenues one can use. I wonder if Apple will ever change their policy/pricing.<br><br>
