Can prior .Mac members get a MobileMe Trial?

Last December I gave up on .Mac. I stopped using most features at that time and began changing over to a new email address. Although my account didn’t expire until February, I wanted to get a jump on the transition so I wouldn’t be tempted to re-upgrade for a fourth year.
But a funny thing happened last month… Apple announced even they were giving up on .Mac and at this very moment they’re in the process of replacing it with MobileMe. My feeling is that Apple conceived MobileMe when (or even before) they decided to add Exchange support to iPhone. I just don’t see Apple offering up a third party solution without offering up one of their own. This may explain some of why .Mac became so dated and stagnant, and why multiple bugs were never fixed.
I’d like to give MobileMe a try — without giving Apple $100. So my question is, as a prior .Mac member do I get a 60-day trial of MobileMe? I’ll soon find out and let you know…
