I may be a little stuck since my primary email address is a .Mac one and I want to keep it, so I'll continue to renew my subscription barring any terrible. iDisk has come in quite handy for me with work files I've needed to work on at home.

If you get it, just use it to the max - push email, contacts & calendar syncing, the iDisk space, everything - to make it worth the $99/year (though you'll get a better deal on Amazon or eBay to get it for around $69 - I never pay full retail for it anymore).

i know the software package wont work on a winblows machine, but can i order the discounted package and just use the included subscription to register on the mobileme.com site and enjoy a year of service for only $39-69?

i was just about to pull the trigger on the mobileme site for $99 but i'm glad i found your post first before i had done that.
