•••iTools Good While It Lasted Apple did a tremendous thing introducing iDisk and iTools back with the unveiling of OS 9, but the day has come that certain pipers must be paid. Apple describes iTools bandwidth limits [from The Macintosh News Network] It makes sense that they'd have to restrict the bandwidth. Now it also makes sense why sometimes I wasn't able to access some freeware and shareware sites (like Dan Schimpf's wonderful MacJournal program) from time to time. However, it still doesn't make sense they never came right out and told the users. I also now understand I'm gonna have to move the mission site somewhere else. Fortunately, Radio Userland makes it relatively easy to manage multiple web sites from this one interface through its categories feature, where just a click of a checkbox for each site or area under the entry field can publish the same entry across multiple sites. iTools, it was nice watching you grow up. Too bad you turned out the way you did. (I just hope and pray they don't mess with my mac.com email account, or I'll be more than a bit disappointed. I'll be downright iRate!)   10:34:30 AM   googleit 41     itemlink->
