I appreciate it. I'm with you 100%. The only thing that worries me is that Apple really can't care too much about something they offered for free, that most people didn't even know about. That's the problem. :( But, perhaps if enough people raise up and ask about it, they'll see the error of their ways. Heck, they could even put a little ad link discretely at the bottom of each e-mail with a link to the Apple Store or something. I hate suggesting any type of ads, as it seems these days ads are prolific and pretty horrible. But, make it discrete enough and I'd still use iCards. Sad day indeed. Stop by anytime, k2. I appreciate your comment! -Allen Hi k2,

Thanks a ton for stopping in and leaving a comment. I appreciate it. I’m with you 100%. The only thing that worries me is that Apple really can’t care too much about something they offered for free, that most people didn’t even know about. That’s the problem. :(

Sad day indeed.

Stop by anytime, k2. I appreciate your comment!
