What was your origin point?
@BasicAppleGuy I'm going to hold onto my mac.com email address until I die
@kyle @BasicAppleGuy Fun fact: if you provide your Mac.com address to an Apple Store employee, you’ll ever get « oh wow » (old Apple employee) or « hmm no it did not exist, you can’t have such a domain name, we would not allow it » (very young employee).
@ggete haha yes I can confirm and it's almost funny for me because sometimes people think I'm 25 so having a @mac.com address seems kind of impossible... but I have one ☺️
@kyle @BasicAppleGuy
@kyle @BasicAppleGuy Wish I had a Mac during that time, I'd still use mine too!
@BasicAppleGuy .mac, which is still a better name than any other web service Apple has ever made.
@BasicAppleGuy OG iTools! I used to love sending my wife the cute postcards
@BasicAppleGuy I miss iCards😞🤷🏼‍♂️
@BasicAppleGuy iTools. I wish I had backed up my webpage.
@BasicAppleGuy Still use my @me.com email! Wish I had an @mac.com email address.
@BasicAppleGuy mobileMe sadly. so now i have (a)me.com email which is a bit embarrassing because it makes me either look super egocentric or it looks like im part of some ME patients interest organization. i'm so envy of the .mac guys and gals.
@mora @BasicAppleGuy I still remember everyone's tearful goodbyes in Town Hall the night it shut down
@BasicAppleGuy iTools. “marcintosh @ mac.com” always made the Geniuses smile. 😁
@BasicAppleGuy I signed up for iTools when I bought my copy of MacOS 9.
@BasicAppleGuy iTools : I used it to host my first webpage, which was some kind of blog before the word was coined and still exists somewhere else.
And I cling to my Mac.com mail address for things that I don’t want to be submerged by spam.
@BasicAppleGuy iTools! It’s fun to have one of the original mac.com email addresses.
@BasicAppleGuy MobileME, I kind of wish I had a mac.com address, but I went the PC/gaming route back then and did not touch a Apple product again until a iPhone 3G.
@BasicAppleGuy iDisk with that sweet 20mb of storage.
@BasicAppleGuy I got my first Mac right before iTools became .Mac, but I didn’t sign up until MobileMe.
@BasicAppleGuy you can pry my @mac.com email address from my cold dead hands
@BasicAppleGuy .mac, I even had a site made with Apole's tools!
@BasicAppleGuy love that I still have .mac
@BasicAppleGuy time for another rename. Apple Cloud?
@BasicAppleGuy I have owned the domain "mobileme.de" since 1999 and when Apple came up with the branding had hopes of selling it really well - I didn't.
@BasicAppleGuy iTools. Got mac.com addresses for me and my kids…
@BasicAppleGuy iTools it was. Still use the same .mac account. Would have liked that to be true for my nescape.net
