Apple is soon going to transition their .Mac service over to something called Mobile Me. I hope this is a good thing. There are many things that have bothered me about .Mac over the years. Don't get me wrong, it's much better than anything else out there, except Microsoft Exchange Server, but it has always been a bit wonky and I think Apple knows it. I hope the new Mobile me is better. Here are the things I don't like about the current .Mac account. We'll see if they are fixed in this new Mobile Me.

1. iDisk. Although I use it and it's convenient, it never quite works the way I want it. It when I upload something to it so that someone across town can download it, it uses Web instead of FTP, and kind of synchronizes the whole folder rather and just uploading it. It also gives terrible feedback on what it's doing and how long it's going to take. I just get this barber pole and it says something to indicate that it's finished, when it's not. It seems to take forever and is impossible to stop, if you need to.
2. Synchronizing across computers. Truly confusing and scary. Just make sure that when you do any sychronizing that you backup your address book. I've spent the last 7 or 8 years compiling a pretty extensive address book. I would hate to lose it. There has been more than a few times that my heart has almost stopped because I thought I erased it because of .Mac sync. No matter how careful I am, it eventually gets confused and I have to reset it (usually a few times) and it never really works again. I usually just turn it off because it's too much hassle.
3. Calendars. I would love to just share a calendar across my home network or even across the internet with my wife. Is this too much to ask. Apple seems to think that just because I want to share my calendar with my wife, that I want to share it with anyone who subscribes to it. I don't. Second of all I would like to be able to share a calendar with my wife that we can both change. I would also like to share a calendar like that with an assistant as well. No dice. I think Mobile Me might fix this. We'll see.
4. Homepage. Homepages are soooo wonky on the internet and the addresses are impossible to remember. I'm hoping it'll be easier for me to log into my account and see what I have on my home pages when I'm away from home.

These are just a few things off the top of my head. There are great things that are already there, but I would love these things to be fixed.
