However, what Apple did today has lowered my trust in them greatly. I have no idea how they sold a single laptop anytime in the last 4 years, but good job to their marketing gurus for that. edit: Ok, I had a large section here, but I deleted it thanks to a few well written emails.

We now have the ability to do that, from anywhere, for a reasonable price. With a 1 year contract, you will be paying $80 per month (which makes no sense at all, because if you cancelled the 2 year contract after one year and paid the $175 cancellation fee, then you would still end up paying less).

Dreamhost has done a great job for me as a host and they just added a great new feature: unlimited domains (hosting, not registration). They are especially great if you are thinking about starting a blog, because they have a one-click install of WordPress.
