>  Not that I long for the old screeds and diatribes against my favorite word
processor, but it does seem odd to me that this time around we long-waiters
are so much more patient.  Do you think it is because we are down to the
core users--We Who Will Never Switch, or, Those Who Are on the Dustheap of

Ah, but last time around they actually took our money and then did not
deliver the product for a very long time.  This time, they took our credit
card numbers but promised not to charge them until the product is shipped.
I am sure that this new policy accounts for much of our increased patience.
