OK - so putting this in a personal context: I'm in my early 50s. My actuarial life expectancy is something around 72, so, like 20 years give or take (in my case probably take, but that's another story). 2 years (what I've been waiting on a number of my orders from 2004 on) equals roughly 10% of my expected life span. I hope this puts things in a little more perspective. I'm willing to wait 6-9 months for boutique stuff. Maybe even a year with reasonable excuses. But 2 years? Gimme a break (preferably before I'm dead)!
