Jays72T - yes, it did take that long and I have been told that it will take even longer for new patents. Not really sure why but it is much more difficult to get patents issued now than say 5 or 10 years ago. Often, the Patent Office will have you re-issue which also costs the applicant. I think it is a money making attempt on their part.

That must why so many items are stamped "patent pending". They "pend" for years and years.
