It's quite common for credit card orders to be declined when the shipping address doesn't match the billing address (to prevent purchases by identity thieves), especially for large amounts.<br /><br />Glad you got your MBP, though - I'm looking forward to getting one soon enough myself.

I just got some bad luck. The 12th - 15th were the only days that had anything to do with my credit card that I could control. After that it was Apple charging the incorrect amount. I wasn't really mad about the credit card part of the issue I merely added for context. <br /><br />What mad me mad was that the reps on the phone kept telling me that everything was ok, when in fact it wasn't. Had they told me that things were not ok, I could have taken care of it immediately. Instead they told me repeatedly that things where ok, which delayed my order over and over. :(<br /><br />But, I'm happy now and thats all that matters! I just needed to vent a little bit.

I have the low-end C2D version... it flies. Maya 8.5, Photoshop CS3, etc.<br /><br />What made you want to switch? Have you used OS X before? Compared to XP, OS X is smooth like buttah, especially wrt multitasking. Even without dual cores. MBP’s are teh hotness. I have the low-end C2D version… it flies. Maya 8.5, Photoshop CS3, etc.
