Bye, bye mobileme

I've had mac.mail for 10 or 11 years.  I still have an @mac.com email suffix.  So, I'm not too happy about this new icloud thingy.  We have older machines, so lion won't run on them and without lion you can only run a limited version of icloud.  Talk about planned obsolescence!  Or should I say rip off.  I'm sick of companies doing this.  I think they're too big for their britches. 

So, I found an email company called runbox.  They're Norwegian.  It's cheaper than mobileme, by a huge bit, they are partly employee owned, and use hydro power to power their servers.  I am also able to use my mail client that came with the apple computer, so I get to keep the same look and feel that I'm used to using.  Happiness.
