Is it possible to downgrade a new Macbook Pro 16" to Mojave?

Not unless somebody comes up with some trick software to fool the MBP. As you may know, Apple doesn't allow an OS to be installed on a Mac that's older than the OS shipped with it.

From time to time somebody has a software hack that allows a newer OS to be installed on a Mac precluded because Apple deemed it too old or unsupported.

SE was smaller iPhone among iPhone 7,8, Plus. Same way SE2 is smaller when comparing with current larger iPhones. This 30 million SE2 is difficult to justify. Only strong argument is $399 price point.

'You want a small phone? We'll give you a small phone. The SE8 is smaller than the X, Xs, Xr, 11, even the 11 Pro. So it's actually the same size as the SE, see? You're just realizing it wrong'. —Apple

He just needs his firmware rebooted.

I remember those days. Lots of fun. I don't miss them, but I do feel a little nostalgia.

Or, for myself, since I don't want to link my bank account, I'll transfer money to AppleCash using my bank's debit card and use that to pay the bill.

Not possible, as far as I could tell. I would rather not let G-S dip into my bank account, but I believe a bank must be linked to the card in order to pay it. I put money from my debit card into Apple Cash but when I pressed Pay Now I got 'Transaction Not Completed' every time. Some website showed that linked to a bank, you then have the option of paying from Apple Cash by pushing a button. So I it looks like I'll have to live with G-S's mitts (I won't schedule a payment; zero balance as always) or link the card, pay the balance, and drop the card.

Umm, I was told by Apple Support that using AppleCash would work -- but it was clear that he was a rookie and using logic that "it should work" rather than explicit knowledge of the matter.  But, from all I have seen, it seems to me that it should work too.

I wonder if the problem was that the money you transferred to AppleCash had not physically cleared yet?   Perhaps it might work if you gave it couple days to clear?

I think I will run a test with a small preliminary payment rather than wait till the end of the month when the full bill is due.

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!

It's been several days since I first transferred the money into my Apple Cash and as of today the transaction still won't complete. Apple Cash can be used but there first has to be some link to G-S for it to get the payment.

I'm guessing that once a link to your bank is established, linking your Apple Cash with the button shown pulls all the money from Apple Cash then the rest from your bank account until the payment is made.

G-S hasn't offered a physical address which is part and parcel for any other credit cards' payment plans. So I'm assuming this is one of the reasons credit accounts are so easily and quickly activated compared to established card issuers.

We initiate payment and send it to G-S, but they always have some signed blank checks handy, just in case. 

I've sent a test payment of $5 to the G-S address another member posted:

Goldman Sachs Bank USA
Salt Lake City Branch Lockbox 6112
PO BOX 7247
Philadelphia PA 19170-6112posted:

Additionally, when setting that Bill Pay account, and 'Marcus by Goldman-Sachs' was offered as a payee, but with a lightly different address, so I just used the above. It's possible that there might be regional address more appropriate for my location compared to the one offered.

The payment was only $5, so if there's some screwup, I'm not out much. The payment will be sent out today (because of the holiday weekend) so by say– the 10th, if my Apple Cash is debited, I have time to use my Bill Pay for the balance. If it isn't, I have time to link my bank to pay the balance.

The latter is something akin to telling a stranger 'Here, hold my wallet while I...'. I hope your test fares better than my two.
