I like the way Apple integrated things with .Mac, but I've NEVER been to any pages or photo galleries or ANYTHING hosted through the .Mac service that had speedy load times when compared to many other server/hosts dealing out similar content. _________________________ "We writhe with the best of them."

It makes a lot of sense to include all of the previous .mac and idisk users under .me www.me.com homepage is how I get to my iDisk and set up other Mail preferences. email redirects from .mac to .me too. _________________________

Phosphor An unreasonable man Registered: 10/08/07 Posts: 1963 Loc: Lancaster PA USA	I get the same slowness on MobileMe pages, too. Maybe the automatic & easy-to-use scripting generates bloated code? (Nooooo, really? Ya think?) _________________________ "We writhe with the best of them."

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 27021 Loc: Hawaii	Okay I take it that my 2 websites are okay and not effected by the Nov 8 deadline? Big Island Glider ride Now the first one is a iWeb site so that should be okay. The 2nd one is the gallery but does have .Mac? _________________________

Jim_ Number 9 Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 12522 Loc: Columbus OH	Change the .mac in the url to .me and it still comes in, it should be okay. If you go to your MobileMe gallery and it shows up you're okay. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

steveg Making a new reply. Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 26697 Loc: D'OHio	I've always stored my website (and the new site I built for my condo complex) on my iDisk, and apparently nothing will change with this move by Apple. But I've been thinking about moving everything to a hosting service, so this is the trigger to make it happen very soon. _________________________
