Oh wow
ACTUALLY, most businesses and e-commerce websites are much more likely to have compatibility with PC-related software than Mac. But really, if you are constantly updating internet browsers and OS's, it can really be a hassle/pain to try and get online transactions to go through since the host servers and the associated web programming are not updated as fast as the end user. You also have to consider internet speeds, firewalls, virus protection software, or anything else that would make your web experience less than satisfying.
And, just because Macs are constantly in all the big budget movies and has the mighty Apple stamp, it doesn't mean it's better. If you think I'm wrong and full of hogwash, then check out Nike Store online and see if you can perform a "successful" search for any of their shoes (I already told NikeStore this last week, and it still is not fixed) with the latest Safari update. Like I said, it all depends on the browser and OS you use.
My point is: it's probably better to use a PC (just based on speed alone--not power) for hyped online Air Jordan purchases or, at the very least, use Mac software that is not so updated (also could hold true for PCs but not so much). It all boils down to programming and how fast your computers "talk" to other computers and interprets users' intentions--the simpler, the better.
I seriously, and I do mean it, hope this info helps with some true sneakerhead/Jhead with a future shoe purchase.

Yeah, I wasn't gonna go, but it doesn't hurt to try. I thought I might be able to get a pair through Shiekh in Berkeley, but it seems really doubtful now. At least this will be a little fun in downtown San Francisco.

Yo man, that really does suck, and I agree. It is the problem with how credit card transactions are handled. I had to book airline flights manually and do a manual credit card check. First the $1 to check authenticity, then the real charge -- but it was only a hold. If you agreed to a $614.98 ticket, then that's the hold put on your card. And once you say you wanted it, there was no going back to reverse it right away. It takes days for a reversal. But if your persistent (because that's how CS works), then you speak with the credit card department to escalate cc reversals that have holds. I can't tell you how many problems that process causes. One day, it will change when people whine and complain enough or when someone figures out a solution to this irritating problem on their own to make the process smoother as an enhancement. Regardless, it is still somewhat of a broken process.
Best of luck to you, for real.

For the BIN IX like 110 people came and they only had 49 pairs. I'm just hoping people don't flock over there to stack up on multiple packs. How was the release in Shiekh? I didn't even know they had the pack

Copped at HOH in Willowbrook Mall here in Jersey. No hassle. Line was deep though. They gave out tickets at 4:20pm (supposed to had been 5). Lady got mad because she said it should have been 1st come 1st serve because the ticket thing is BS. She wouldnt of got a pair anyway, she came at like 11:40 for a midnight release. LOL

I guess our chances are far less for the pack. I think Champs at the Westfield mall are getting the pack, too.
The manager at Shiekh in Berkeley told me he was getting them, but he says they're gonna send him the shipment next week.
I feel like it's not gonna happen, but you never know.
