.mac to mobileMe account

this was a renewal of my .mac account-saved me $20 -includes free shipping from Amazon

Another year with iTools/.mac/MobileMe

I enjoyed this service when it was introduced by Steve Jobs some eight years ago as a free service. Dropped it like a dead frog when they started charging $99/year. Apple recently gave me a free year of .mac for mishandling my notebook repair. Since then I've been using the service mostly for the included backup utility. Now, the Mac OS (Leopard) has a built in backup routine, so that's not important.
I'm still trying to find a way to justify the cost. If you need online storage, it's okay. If you like the .mac or .me email address, it's your only choice. But there are lots of free online storage and email solutions these days.
One service I did use and appreciate was the iCard feature, which has now been removed. Adding to my disinterest in future renewals.
At least it's not as expensive through Amazon. For $74 USD shipped, it's less of a pill to swallow. But unless they add some value between now and next year, I'll pass on future renewals.
