They really should consider giving people another $20 off for keeping their preorders active. I mean, it's another 2 months AT LEAST. "No Earlier Than DECEMBER 15,2003". Meaning, it could be December 15th, or could be Feb 15th 2004.
Oh Coda, you have really dropped the ball.......and people were complaining that MOTU's Digital Performer wasn't OS X.......and it finally is.........

I presume everyone's got the news by now? Disappointing, but not entirely unexpected. Hopefully, this means that there will be no issues with Panther 10.3 compatibility, and that all the major third-party plugins will be ready to go as soon as it ships.
Dear Valued Macintosh® User,
Thank you for your Finale® 2004 pre-order. Providing you the highest quality notation software experience is our top priority. We have determined that in order to deliver on this promise, the announced release date must be delayed.
We now expect to ship Finale 2004 for Macintosh OS X no earlier than December 15, 2003 . We recognize that this delay will disappoint you. Please accept our sincere apologies. In order to minimize the delay, and to respond to the strong demand for OSX, the first version released will only run on Macintosh OS X. A version that runs on OS X and OS 9 will follow shortly thereafter.
We too are disappointed that the projected date has slipped, but as we move into the final stages of testing, we remain confident that you will be delighted with the end result. Finale 2004 for Windows is selling at a record-breaking pace and users are delighted with its many improvements, including Human Playback, SmartMusic sounds, the ability to create your own CD and improved Simple Note Entry. As always, we welcome your comments and encouragement. Email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or phone us at 1-800-843-2066.
We assure you that, as before, if you ordered by credit card your card will not be billed until the product ships. All pre-orders will receive a free Finale t-shirt. In appreciation of your continued patience, and to say sorry for the disappointment, we will waive the standard domestic* shipping and handling fees on your upgrade order.
In order to help us best meet your needs, please select from the following options:
Ship me Finale 2004 for Macintosh OS X as soon as possible (expected not before December 15, 2003) with free standard domestic shipping and handling.*
Wait to ship me Finale 2004 for Macintosh OS X and OS 9 with free standard domestic shipping and handling.*
Cancel my pre-order at this time.
If we do not hear from you we will ship you Finale 2004 for Macintosh OS X
as soon as it is available.
Our independent Macintosh beta testers have repeatedly stated that this is the biggest Finale upgrade in years. We're sure that you will agree. Visit www.finalemusic.com over the coming days for updates and sneak previews of the Macintosh interface as well as feedback from Windows users. Rest assured that Macintosh OS X is nearly here.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey K. McGuire VP of Marketing & Sales
