Didn't the Mobile Me new System Preference pane come in Software Update?

I called AppleCare and "officially" it did, but it isn't in my Software Update yet.

I have 10.5.4 and still have .Mac in my System Preferences.

There is a download for it in Apple Discussions thread. I wonder why you and Cheryl haven't sean the MobileMe Software Update.

I just did a manually check in software update and there is nothing to install. I wonder if they pulled it.

I did notice that .mac groups & .mac web site is back on the .mac side. Transition must be giving headaches.

I also just checked Software Update and I got it! So I installed and now I have MM in my System Preferences, iWeb, iPhoto etc...

Yes .Mac Homepage and .Mac Groups are back online - but for how long??

Another apology, it seems. I received this E-Mail yesterday:

Yep -- you know what's weird, though? I'm only getting 89 days free in total, instead of 90... I'm not complaining as anything free is good by me, but I just noticed that.

My account was scheduled to renew on September 30. After the first free 30-day handout, my account said it would renew on October 30 with a "30 days free" note next to the date. Today, my account shows that it will renew on December 29 with a "90 days free" note next to the date.

By my simple calculations, that's 89 days, not 90. :P

Edit: [forehead slap] unless, of course, I completely forget that some months have 31 days, and then everything works out. It's too early to be posting, dangit.
