It seems that Apple have a major problem with iDisk today (7th Feb 2004)
Although you can access your web pages stored on your iDisk via a browser, this is the only access at the moment.
It is not available via :-
Finder - can't access the remote iDisk and also can't set up the local sync process, fails with Error 12.
Can't access it via iPhoto, for photo publishing
Can't access it via Contribute 2 to edit my web sites.

I think they had a network hiccup for a little while. I was trying to connect from my windows box at work and it hung explorer. I tried a couple minutes later and it was slow but functional.

Seems to be OK for me as well now.
What really get on your nerves is when the staus message says "All .Mac services are OK"

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that change...

Accessing iDisk locked my finder up HARD on the 5th. Lost email on the 2nd. Errors copying files to iDisk in Finder the whole previous week. This is indeed getting old.
I'll probably ditch it after this year.

Regular old web hosting. I've got 50 email addresses through my business site, so I really don't need .mac that much any more. It's more per month that .mac, but I've got 500 mb web space, 50 emails, FTP users, site reports, 5 GB throughput, email aliases, etc. I've been keeping some of the personal stuff on .mac and usind my @mac.com email address for webmail, and as a back-up, but I just don't have to have it any more. Synching contacts/bookmarks between home/work has been handy, but I can do that with my iPod, too.
I'll miss drag and drop in the finder ever so slightly, but Transmit is such an easy and quick FTP program, it just won't be that big of a deal.

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan!
I've never been upset with my .Mac service thus far, as I understand it's going to have it's ups and downs. That's the life of servers.
With that said, I don't really "need" it either though.
