Monday, Dec 11th?  That's great!  I tend to use cash for anything I can, even my rent.  I have a Visa checkcard for online purchases and bar tabs (for after the cash runs out) and just mentally deduct my purchases.  When I saw my last balance I was like "Cool!" until I realised I essentially hadn't paid for Poser7 yet and had better be careful to make sure the money was still there when they decided to take it.  Personally, I expect to be charged as soon as I order.  It is a nice move on their part to wait until they ship, in case something unforeseen happens.  Now I only have to worry about whether it will arrive before I go out of town for the holidays.  I'd hate to think about my copy of Poser7 sitting on my porch (in a college town no less) for days.
