The email message, which is partly mirrored on a notification page on Apple's site, tells those customers who transitioned over from .Mac that the HomePage web app will shut down on July 7th and will prevent sites created using the online web editing tool from receiving further updates."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1239334478.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p><em>My welcome screen when I checked out the HomePage site, my first visit!&nbsp;</em></p><p>When I read about this, to be honest, I had forgotten about it. I had to go to the <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/" target="_blank">.Mac site</a> to remind myself about what I had never used. And I can see why. It is a rather clunky appearance, although I suppose it worked well to store files, etc. I'm thinking it is probably a good time to retire it, and I doubt it will be missed.&nbsp;</p>
