17:15 - I'm sure it's just my imagination...

Is it just me, or has there suddenly been a sharp increase in the number of @mac.com addresses seen roaming about the Net?
In my own correspondence, I've noticed that two or three people on each of the mailing lists I'm on, including a number of fan-artists, blog respondents, and random people mailing me for other reasons, have mac.com addreses. On examination of the headers on their messages, a large proportion of those-- almost all, in fact-- are using Mail on OS X.
It could be that my experience is atypical. (I wouldn't be surprised to find that I tend to magnetize people with Macs to write to me more than non-Mac-people do.) But something tells me it's not; somehow I suspect that Mail.app and OS X are reaching critical mass, the level of acceptance where (for those people in a position to use it) it's becoming the default, obvious choice-- like Hotmail or Outlook Express.
It's so good to see that occasionally it's not Microsoft software that does this.
