Good night sweet prince. Retired 12 years ago when iCloud launched.

I still can’t believe Apple named their web service ‘mobileme’.

@sdw ah the good old times. Where buttons looked like buttons and icon design was a craft.

@sdw the photos icon is so good. I miss the charm that iPhoto had.

@sdw hands up who‘s still got a [at]me.com address. ✋🏻

@gestalter @sdw I’ve been using it as my personal email since it’s existence. I love it and can’t see myself ever giving it up if I can help it

@gestalter @craigc @sdw I’m rocking my @mac.com email address from the .mac (dot Mac) days. 😄

@marioguzman my wife lost her iTunes access because her original .mac account was tied to her defunct yahoo account. We resent that to this day.

@marioguzman @gestalter @craigc @sdw Oh I have a mac.com and I am using it.

@sdw but those me.com email addresses were nice!
Show threadchris overcashJul 2, 2024

@sdw my guess is it went something like:

“So we have this me.com domain, we really should find a use for it…”

@sdw I still use my me.com email address! (Technically it's a mac.com Apple ID, but I like the me.com domain more.)

@sdw never noticed the little yellow status LED on the cloud icon (which feels a little prophetic now)

@sdw No https back then?
