I just got one. Yup. 13" MBP, the most basic model. Still, it rivals my 2008 20" iMac for power. Should get it on Wednesday... Excited!

I checked the refurb area, but the student/uni discount doesn't cover the refurbs. For about the same price I'd rather get a new one than a refurb.

Oh blimey. I've had to phone Natwest to confirm it, then I had to phone up EuroFinance who ship the Apple products to confirm my ID... I had to send them a bank statement and my driving license on an email... I don't have a scanner and use online banking so both were an issue. In the end, I sent a screenshot of the online page and then took a photo of my driving license. He said that should be OK on the phone.
That's another thing: I had to go to the payphone to call them as O2 won't let me on my SIMplicity contract. It was an 0800 number and I still got diverted to O2 top-up.
What a farse.

There are several 'mobile phone to freephone number' services which offer a landline number to ring which then redirects to the freephone number - TTNC are amongst those that have this service available ( www.ttnc.co.uk/other-services/mobile-2-freephone/)

Just got my confirmation. Delivery estimate:
28th September.
That's tomorrow. Guess who has a no lectures or labs in for tomorrow? Me, baby.
Actually, the status says 'Preparing for Shipment'. Will I get it tomorrow? Seems a bit quick unless it gets shipped today then travels overnight.

Nope.... haven't calmed down. Still really really excited though my wife is now going in the huff because I'll have a better machine than her. Never mind that I've been getting on with this old lag so she could have the 24", much newer machine.... no gratitude some people ;o)
