This is the old version. Seek out .MAC with iWeb Second Edition instead if you have a newer MAC
Rating:  - .Mac.

I've had a dot-Mac account for a couple of years now and although I use it for many things, I haven't really taken advantage of it the way I could have. This is part sloth, but it's also because a dot-Mac account has features that I guarantee you'll never figure out on your own. With the ... Read More
