Don’t Let MobileMe Scare You.

Are you afraid of change?  Do the words new and different frighten you and keep you up at night?  Well, if you suffer from Metathesiophobia (the fear of changes), and the .mac / MobileMe situation has you stressed out, then Macworld has just what you need.

They have an excelent piece detailing the changes from the old, safe .mac world to the new and exciting (if not poorly named) MobileMe universe.  There is a lot of good information there, including the answer to a question I was looking for.  I wanted to know the .mac rollover would happen.  Here is my answer:

When MobileMe becomes available in July, Apple will automatically switch your .Mac account over at no cost. You’ll get a change-of-service e-mail at your .Mac address when Apple makes the switch. (Here’s the MobileMe notification letter sent to Macworld’s .Mac account.) However, Apple does recommend you do a couple of things _before_ the switch to ensure a seamless transition: 1) set up your Mac to sync contacts and calendars and 2) upgrade to the latest version of your favorite browser.

Head over to Macworld for the complete article and put your mind at ease.  Also, if you haven’t already renewed your .mac subscription for cheap, do so quick.  I have a STRONG feeling that MobileMe upgrades will not be discounted any time soon.
