I prefer instant gratification; I hate waiting for things. Every day, I check my online banking records to see if my payment to Coda Music has been processed, so that I'll know when I can expect Finale to arrive. I wish I'd bought tracking when I sent in my master Rhapsody disk, so I could know whether it had arrived in Minnesota yet.
On the positive side, the longer it takes, the more likely my chances of being able to get a free upgrade to the new version of Finale when it comes out, purportedly within a month or two.
