Hello to all on the list.
Welcome!
1. On Sept. 17th, I got an AUGB list message from Garr Reynolds
detailling that U.S. and Canadian User Group Ambassadors would get a
.Mac account free for their group. My question is: what makes it that
the rest of the world can't get one? It is free, after all...
Hmmm. The others who have answered you seem to be overlooking this
question so far. Maybe the news has been a little slower getting to
Beijing. The .mac mail accounts used to be free when it was offered
under the iTools moniker. Apple has renamed and upgraded this program
under the name ".Mac" and made it a pay service, US$99 per year. It was
announced this summer. Those people who already had accounts with
iTools still have them as trial accounts under .Mac until September
30th. They also have the opportunity of a first year discount price of
$49. If they haven't paid for the upgraded .Mac service by then, they
lose their trial accounts. There has been a lot of discussion on this
list and in other circles about whether the new service is
appropriately priced.

Ambassadors will get a CD. I have never heard of them getting DVDs.
David, the August 2002 edition of the provider discs shipped in the
Apple Mailbox were on DVDs. This was proclaimed in advance by a large
red sticker on the May 2002 Mailbox, the last one to be on CD.
