I ordered a macbook from macconnection.com Jan 5th. heh. (like the other poster said, my life doesn't revolve around aapl)
talked with their customer service and was told to refuse shipping or ship the box back if UPS dropped it at the door when i'm not there and they'll ship me another box today. this way my order date is after jan 6th and I can get the ilife 10 bucks upgrade.
have to say.. my first purchase from macconnection.com and so far i'm impressed.
