	Is this a free seminar or does it have a fee. Suresh
4213.2	Amateur hour on the Internet...	GLDOA::WERNER	Still crazy after all these years	`Wed Oct 25 1995 12:45`	7
	RE: "Visit our site, http://technet.zko.dec.com/symposium....Just tried it. ..not a valid URL..."fatal error cannot locate server". Not an auspicious start, but somehow poignantly Digital. Where's Ted Mack when you need him? -OFWAMI-

	There is a $600.00 cost center charge for this course. Barry

	>> RE: "Visit our site, http://technet.zko.dec.com/symposium....Just tried it. >> ..not a valid URL..."fatal error cannot locate server". Of course, it would be much more successful if you spelled it as it appeared in the notice (i.e. "tecnet"). Interesting that they chose that powerful internet tool, VTX PMP, for registration :-). Oh wait, different rathole. j.
4213.5	Corrected cost, and how to register	ANGST::bpe003.zko.dec.com::romano	John Colonna-Romano SI AIT ZKO1-3/J33 381-0187	`Wed Oct 25 1995 13:32`	16
	There is a charge for the symposium. The symposium is being held at the Sheraton in Nashua, and the charge is to cover facilities, lunch, and snacks costs. The charge was originally $600 and has been reset to $150. The lower cost is due to a better estimate of the total costs of putting on the symposium. About the registration process using VTX. It wasn't my choice and if I had to do it over again I would make sure that I had the time to set up a Web based registration system. In any event I hope that if you are interested in the content of the symposium, that the registration process wouldn't discourage you from coming. If you don't have access to VTX (or just can't get yourself to use it), send me your name and badge number and I will register you in the symposium. To register send you name and badge number to: jcr@zko.dec.com or angst::romano
4213.6	re-wrapped for the linewidth-impaired	LGP30::FLEISCHER	without vision the people perish (DTN 297-5780, MRO2-3/E8)	`Wed Oct 25 1995 14:06`	21

4213.7	it would be nice...	LGP30::FLEISCHER	without vision the people perish (DTN 297-5780, MRO2-3/E8)	`Wed Oct 25 1995 14:09`	16

Note that we used the existing registration infrastructure, and that it's VTX-based, not web-based. It wasn't a question of doing a VTX interface vs. a Web interface; it was a question of using an existing system vs. rolling our own. Of course, it would be really nice if somebody in IM&T (or whatever) would come up with a reusable, general-purpose Web-based registration system. Bob

	While we're in the rathole, when I accessed VTX HCCZ_US yesterday, I noticed it added insult to injury -- on one page if you tried to submit data with return, it took you to a type PF1-enter message.
4213.9	yes if everyone had a browser ....	TROOA::MSCHNEIDER	Digital has it NOW ... Again!	`Wed Oct 25 1995 15:01`	9
	Yes and it would be nice if everyone in the world could use Web-based tools from their home .... I can't yet so lets not quibble about what tools we use to do it. VTX is available from any terminal in Digital (yes there are lots of those still around). It gets the job done .... oh I can't feel a "why VTX sucks" rathole beginning here.
4213.10		DRDAN::KALIKOW	DIGITAL=DEC; Reclaim the Name&Glory!	`Wed Oct 25 1995 21:07`	17
	FWIW...:-) My colleague David Marques built a supernifty self- registration-with-EMail-verification engine for the Klick-the-Tires demostation for Workgroup Web Forum; he used the Workgroup Web Forum framework devised by Griffin/Chiu that is delivered with V1.0 of the product... When you sign up to try the demo (which you can do from ANY forms-capable web browser, down to Lynx), it requires you give it a valid EMail address. It ships you an EMail at that address. If you reply (and assuming you've filled in the other required forms & have read the Ground Rules) you're in. Do I sense the basis of a future reusable Web-based registration system beginning here...? Oh whoops, that EMail address is internet-style. NeverMind... It'll never catch on inside Digital. :-)
4213.11	Nice try, Dr. Dan; take two, lie down, etc...	LACV01::CORSON	Higher, and a bit more to the right	`Wed Oct 25 1995 22:11`	1

4213.12	Hey there Greyhawk, my mouth was foamless on that 'un! :-)	DRDAN::KALIKOW	DIGITAL=DEC; Reclaim the Name&Glory!	`Thu Oct 26 1995 15:13`	9
	.10> Do I sense the basis of a future reusable Web-based registration system beginning here...? N.B. -- "the basis" ... "future" ... "beginning" ... :-)
4213.13	have comment & question	ACISS1::SETLOCK		`Fri Oct 27 1995 14:34`	6
	I have some feedback from a Customer I saw yesterday. Can someone point me to the correct person to contact regarding Digitals internet home page so I can pass on a very nice comment and a question/request? Thanks, Sue
4213.14		QUARK::LIONEL	Free advice is worth every cent	`Fri Oct 27 1995 14:42`	3
	Send to Mick Schonhut (SALES::SCHONHUT). Steve

I believe that the comments go to Russ Jones rather than Mick. j.
4213.16	thanks	ACISS1::SETLOCK		`Fri Oct 27 1995 17:32`	3
	Thanks for the info. I will send a memo to both Mick and Russ. Sue
