I was curious as to why it was taking so long and called ibiblio.
I think the problem is that they are snowed under with requests
like ours from others and it will take time for ours to make it through the 
queue.

However the sstaffperson said he would bring it to Fred's attention this 
afternoon and
see if he could get you up and running sooner than otherwise. He also looked 
in the
ticket's list for yours on Nov. 5th and couldn't find it - doesn't mean that 
it is no there.
He said to resend your request asap:
