While I was at the Apple Store yesterday I took the chance and asked if I could get a discount on MobileMe for the iMac I bought my son in May,all I had was the "Thank You For Registering "email and the registration number which I showed the sales clerk on my iPhone.<br>He punched in the numbers and I got my discount on MobileMe <br><br>Now getting back to "Is it me ?"<br>I think the name MobileMe 100% flat out sucks it sounds Microsofty to me.<br><br>I accepted iTools name being changed to .mac that was <br>But .mac being changed to MobileMe and a stinking PINK ICON that replaces my beloved iDisk icon does not get it <br><br>Sooooo share your feelings about the name MobileMe and the precious pink icon.<br>And another thing that really bugs me it the new tee shirts the Apple Employees are wearing I feel like Im at Taco Bell <br>BRING BACK THE BLACK APPLE TEE SHIRTS ! <br>Ok I am finished <br><br><br><br><br><br> My Ultimate Amazing Crap !

Pretty soon the HD will be named MyMac and the downloads folder will be MyDownloads. Sucks is right. I don't like the me.com address either.<br><br>[color:red]&#63743;</font color=red> [color:orange]&#63743;</font color=orange> [color:yellow]&#63743;</font color=yellow> [color:green]&#63743;</font color=green> [color:blue]&#63743;</font color=blue> [color:purple]&#63743;</font color=purple>

Hate the name -- I like that you can still use your .mac address though =)<br><br>Fortunately, I don't seem to have a pink icon for my iDisk -- it's still the same globe-on-a-hard-drive one for me (yes, I have updated to the new software =)<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...

Apple should give us a choice it's bad enough to be stuck with the name MobileMe they could give us a choice of gender related icons<br>Pink for the ladies and blue for us men.<br>Is Apple loosing it's identity ? <br>Are we doomed to be in the pink ? <br><br><br> My Ultimate Amazing Crap !

No I agree Swatty !! - I don't like the fact it doesn't have "mac" anywhere in it.<br><br>why not "Mobile Mac"... but then it does work with PCs ...<br><br>I agree the Me sounds too much like "me generation"... <br><br>"mobile me" is almost as bad as VISTA...<br><br>"mobile me" sounds like someone with a bladder (or bowel) problem !! <br><br>David (OFI)<br><br>PS If gas goes up any more - I'll be "Non-Mobile Me" !!

You can add me to the club of people who prefered ".mac" to the Windows-esk "me".<br><br>However, there are ways we can change the icon from that new pink one... right? Doesn't CandyBar allow such?<br><br><br>My Wii: 5721 8516 7937 9434 (PM me if you Wii)
