Just yesterday I had clients in my office who were missing 1099 packages on 2 out of 3 broker accounts. They called their broker, who emailed the statements to them, and then they forwarded them to me. I printed them out (as usual, I just need the first two pages of 10 or 12) and it really didn't slow down the appointment, mostly because we talked more about their upcoming trip to Italy than about taxes. They are going to Pompeii, which is fine, but I told them not to miss the museum in Naples, where all the good stuff from Pompeii was sent, including the room with all the recovered porn.
At least technology has improved so that we no longer have to deal with the clients who thought it would be OK to be late for an appointment as long as they had a cell phone and could call ahead to report their tardiness. Even my clients who have lived through more than 60 summers are giving up their land lines.
