I second Diane's question about .mac. I recently signed up for the free trial and I really haven't found anything to like about it yet. I've tried to do the backup, but you really can't in the free trial because there's not enough space. SO I am just backing up a few folders, but I've been getting several error messages whenever it tries to backup.

Does the iChat allow you to chat via MSN's Messenger? That's the only chat I use, and I have the Mac version downloaded now.

Robert - can you send me group info for me to try out? Thanks
