    A week????  You didn't say where you live, but unless you're in the
same town as Holger (in that case, you should've picked it up yourself)
it's completely unreasonable to expect a check to leave your post office,
get to him, get back to your bank to make sure the check is good, and then
have Holger mail out the disk, and you receive it.

   Even if you're only two days away via the USPS, that eats up four days
right there.  So, your check is supposed to be deposited AND clear your
bank in TWO days????  C'mon, be realistic.

   If you *truly* wanted fast service, you should have invested all of an
extra dollar and bought a MONEY ORDER.  They're almost as good as cash and
if you receive one you don't have to wait up to 14-21 days for the check to
clear.

   When I registered mine, I send a money order and an express mail
envelope/stamp from the post office and it arrived in about 12 days.  Heck,
you can even use First Virtual to register now, but let's not gripe about a
flippin' week!
