Apple releases .Mac-exclusive iChat icon sets

Sure, they aren't the exclusive Dashboard widgets we've heard so much about, but Apple has released 11 sets of iChat icons for .Mac members. Included are the familiar chat bubbles (pictured at right), Japanese stamps, sticky notes, status indicators and illustrations. According to Apple, they're only going to be made available until June 1st. The complete collection of  218 icons can be downloaded as a single 640kb image. So grab them if you can, and spiff up your copy of iChat.

I have had a .mac account for three years now and I have never payed full price.
Apple discounts it $30.00 at least once once a year or when you buy a new system.

.Mac is overpriced- you will be able to find those icons soon somewhere - but only a nub would actually use them. Spymac should not be paid for: it is good to share and get feedback - no, I mean it was good for that. There will be more downtime with spymac than other places, but it isn't so bad. Blog - nobody cares, crappy iweb website - nobody cares... Best option is a real host. A good host will give you server+1 domain for less than 40 a year with more features than you need, but sadly no simple template blogs or 1 click upload my nobody cares webpage...

I guess if you don't have .Mac, then it's easy to say 'it's not worth it." Quite frankly, the $99 is worth knowing you have a dedicated email address and web storage that never changes.

Just wait a day or so, these files will obviously end up on the Mac torrent sites.
Also, .Mac is overpriced, and Spymac is a pretty mediocre webhost.
Be a big boy and go get some real hosting.

It's funny, the team at .mac always seem to come up with things which seemed useless when I had it, and now that I don't, mildly annoy me. Either way, it's not good marketing to annoy me. A lower price would be bring me back at this point. Nothing else.

MIke, enjoy your downtime on Spymac. You'll have plenty of it.

Dan: I'm sorry that I've just found a service (Spymac) that allows you to get more for your money. 3GB storage, works with iWeb (can publish iWeb pages to your Spymac page http://celebi23.spymac.com/Site/Welcome.html ), Photocasts, Personal Blog & included Blogging tool. Cost: $25 for 1 year (Spymac) vs. $99 for 1GB of storage (.Mac). Hmm, which is the better deal?

Mike,

You stopped paying for the service. I find it offensive that you would ask for these to be sent to you. You stated that you aren't a .Mac subscriber any more, thus you don't deserve to relish in any of the .Mac services that others pay good money to enjoy. I hope that posting your email on a public website results in endless spam landing in your inbox.

crappy icons are not a very good incentive for me to join .mac

Could someone maybe e-mail me the 640kb file? Not a .Mac member anymore, I switched to Spymac.
