Apple acknowledges .Mac problems.
After two days of .Mac problems, here
is the e-mail we received from Apple :
"Dear .Mac Member, We hope you
haven't been greatly inconvenienced by the two .Mac
network outages we've experienced in the past two
weeks (including this morning) and we sincerely apologize
for any problems you've experienced. The outages were
the result of equipment failures, and since the equipment
vendor has not been able to persuade us that the problem
will not occur again, we've already begun installing
new equipment from a different vendor. We're completely
back up and running now, and no data or mail was lost.
We expect the equipment change over to be complete
within the next several weeks, and we'll be working
hard to ensure that there are no further issues during
that time. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience
while we make this transition, and if you do experience
any difficulties, please go to www.apple.com/support
