E-mail's not free? Mac owners flee.

[Zombie9920]

It must be a bad time to be an Apple Loyalist. This must be a kick in the bullocks....Apple is charging for thier E-Mail services now. Even Microsoft still offers a free 2MB account for thier hotmail services. Apple must be in a really big debt hole seeing how they are charging for every "what should be free" service. Thank god I'm not loyal to Apple. ;P

I use beermail... the ultimate mail

[ravuya]

The real best way to get free email with a Mac is to set up a mail server... Apple makes it so much easier than every other OS too. I can't possibly see why most people aren't going this route.

its called cable modems' EULA, as in, no servers, no this no that. it is illega to hook up a router for gods sake

[voidmain]

Well then just call it a "firewall" instead of a "router" because it really isn't a router anyway, it's a firewall.  It doesn't run RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, etc, not a router.  Don't know why they call them routers when they aren't.

I got news for you: people don't care shit about their cable EULA. Hell, most people don't even read the damned thing past the signature line. Some EULAs forbid you to run 'unsupported' operating systems on their line (ie Linux), and some others forbid you from using file sharing services to violate copyright.

I'm just glad there's that one group of people fighting the cable modem EULA's.
