On the Fourth Day of Christmas...
By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 8:19 AM
I finally upgraded to iCloud. I hated to give up a few features being retired with MobileMe, but decided the Photo Stream and other new, iCloud-based features were too nice sounding to pass up. I'm trying to use this brief Christmas break to get all of my ducks in a row and part of that has involved me getting my photo library in better shape.
This marks the second time I have moved to a new Apple online service. I signed up for .Mac in 2004, the service that became MobileMe in 2008. So far, I think iCloud is closer to ideal than the other two, but I'd love to see some further improvements and maybe a way for other web apps to tie into iCloud. I wish iCloud had a full Dropbox like service as part of it, for example.

I used .Mac for email, backups, and iDisk. I still use the email (@mac.com - never changed to @me) and miss backup and iDisk. I’d love to see both come back.
I use TimeMachine for full system backup to a local hard disk, but TimeMachine to iCloud for my documents folder would be nice if my laptop & backup disk were destroyed in the same house fire or something.
