Registration

[Troy C. Belding]

I spoke with Kristie about this, and briefly with Lisa and Mark.

Provide two or three 'con' computers.  Link them to the web site (linux 
boxes with only a browser.  Use WindowMaker or IceWM, etc).  They go to 
the site, fill out their registration, use the credit card, and print 
the confirmation page.  Confirmation page is then taken to the 
registration site, where they get a badge.

This can also be used as a "I got here late, but I want to go to the 
panel, here's my registration form"

We can do this with the web site, which already has the merchant 
account, and keep registration going online till the last minute - 
mainly because then we don't have to bother keeping track (although it'd 
be a good idea to keep an eye on it) - and we can have the 'up to and 
during the con' registration at full price.

For people wanting to pay cash, maybe an additional option for "Pay at 
registration by cash, check, or money order"

(They could also use their laptops and such, but that'd be hard to let 
them print)

I think Penguicon's problem was that they were trying to be too fancy, 
and using 'special' registration computers.
