.Mac Service Enhanced with 1GB Storage, Email Groups and French & German Localizations

.Mac now provides iDisk storage of 512MB and another 512MB for email for a total of 1GB for each member. Families get 2GB of storage.

With regard to email groups, according to Apple,

.Mac members can now easily create private, ad-free online communities that make it easy for family, friends and private groups to communicate, coordinate and share digital media. With .Mac Groups, members can send emails to the entire group using a single address; post files, pictures and movies with a common group iDisk; publish group web pages and post links to other sites; and keep up-to-date with the latest group events with a shared iCal® calendar.

We have been a .Mac member since its inception. Annual membership is $99.95 or $179.95 for families (1 master and 5 sub-accounts). [Bill Fox]
