The Silver Tongue Show

I’m writing this before it actually happens later today: ever since I left dotMac last week (because I’ve decided not to renew my account), I’ve had this feeling that Apple is going to update the dotMac offer real soon.

Yesterday, dotMac users reported that they’ve received an email from Apple telling them that the service would be unavailable for 2 hours today. First, it’s rare enough for Apple to actually warn users before maintenance happens. Second, Apple has announced some time ago that there would be a special event today, meaning they’ve got some new stuff coming our way.

Now, it’s not very difficult to make the link between the two and guess that dotMac may be updated.

Should I be disappointed at not being a member anymore? I’ll have the answer later tonight, but to be honest Apple has to go a long, long way to make the offer worthwhile. 99 € a year is a steep price…
