I can't access online address book right now. Typical. Good old .Mac. Worth every penny. I don't think.

I think it's getting hammered because everyone (on the East Coast or Europe) who has .Mac is trying to test it out, all at the same time.

Whereas ordinarily only a small percentage of .Mac users would be logging in at any one time.

I'm sure that by this afternoon things will settle down.

Not sure if it was just sync weirdness or a bug in the .Mac address book, but about 75% of my entries were duplicated when I first sync'd the .Mac address book to my system. Had to manually remove the duplicates. They did not appear in my AddressBook.app.

It hasn't re-occurred since I fixed it, but it may be a bug they took the system down for.
