Should Dot Mac subscribers recieve discounts on the yearly (or almost yearly) OSX updates? What about a package of Dot Mac and OSX sold together for 30% less than paying for them separately.

I don't think a bundle deal could really hurt Apple if, in fact, they want to increase their .Mac membership. I subscribed for the first year, but didn't really see any compelling reason to continue it, so my account lapses today. With the imminent release of Panther and the automatic iDisk synchronization, I may regret that decision, but perhaps if a bundle were offered, I would consider renewing. What a run-on.

Further, I wouldn't mind seeing a renewal price slightly lower than the full first-time subscription price. I don't mind paying, but I wouldn't mind some more incentives ;-)

I got .Mac for free when I purchased my 17" PowerBook and two iPods. No bundle or anything, they just trew it in there for free. Bundling is a Good Thing™

Just so long as we're not bundling Internet Explorer...
