Here's something that's really annoyed quite a few of us.

5 of 6 months ago, we purchased Finale for musical DTP, thinking, well it is a 
little expensive, but it seems to be the only tool capable of doing what it 
does.  So after wading through the brain dead interface that they had decided 
on, we seem to be using it somewhat efficiently.  Then comes the shocker... 
Coda drops the price of Finale SUBSTANTIALLY.  We had purchased it for around 
$1200CDN, the price now is $750CDN.    CODA being the gracious (extreme 
sarcasm) company that they are, has offered us the next upgrade, which they say 
will cost $150, works out to about $190CDN, for free.  Big deal.  In the letter 
they sent they buttered us up, thanking us for being one of the earliest 
purchasers of the product, and because of that they're going to offer us the 
next upgrade (big $150 value) for free.  Nowhere does it mention that they've 
dropped the price.  This is an insult to my intelligence.  Perhaps they thought 
I'd never notice. 


Are these people for real?  So much for the user comes first...  One letter to 
CODA coming up.  Can hardly wait for the response...
