Me, me, me, me! at me.com!

The fingers of your correspondents will thank you: your .Mac email address is now—optionally—one character shorter.
MacRumors reports—and I can confirm—that (most) users with @mac.com addresses can now receive email from their new @me.com equivalents. Basically: send an email to yourawesomename@me.com, and it shows up in your yourawesomename@mac.com inbox.
This is just the kick-start step in the transition from .Mac to MobileMe. Your @mac.com addresses will still work once MobileMe takes over—sort of like an alias—but now that the @me.com names are up and running, it wouldn’t be a bad time to start transitioning yourself.
You know, if you choose to.
I guess it depends on what you like more: your computer…or yourself?
Do you have a computer fetish…or a narcissistic personality?
Are you a nerd…or a diva?
Are you a fanboy…or an attention whore?
Are you a bragger…or…uh…
Well. You’re a bragger either way.

Well, I feel bad for some people, because a lot of people put fake e-mail addresses in fields that require them as @me.com, so a lot of bad addresses are now good addresses :-/
Are you a faker... or a...
@Tom
Why would anybody take the time to type not only specifically "@me", but also something legible as a username when any random adjacent letters would be easier and serve the same purpose?
Are you some kind of expert at user behavior? Where is your evidence of "a lot of people"?
Does anyone know for sure whether the @mac.com addy will be available to new subscribers or is it only for those transitioning?
Mine is working.
