To begin with, I have high praise for our new web operation. However, even with my very specific requests, someone in the pipe line made a couple assumptions that are not true. We are all human.

First, #27 has not been achieved but we are closing in on it. Second, of slightly lesser importance, is that #23 Mounting the System Disk has not been achieved; that is one of things we are working on now. However, #24 is complete. Things are not completely serial at this point.

I will try to get these corrected ASAP.
