Just, FYI, we did regain access to Web of Knowledge shortly after 2 pm.

I also received a voicemail from our representative suggesting that part 
of what went wrong was an attempt to provide a trial to a non-library 
part of the university.  Which is an intriguing tidbit which I intend to 
pursue.  Which unit of the campus, what product, and was there any way 
we or ISI could have anticipated or avoided the fallout of the innocent 
trial request.

Back to normality,
