Here's an excerpt from a running dialogue about the program book, and 
the possibility of making the schedule available in electronic format 
only.  They already discussed kiosks, which some said are unreliable, 
due in large part to the abuse by users.  I'm sending it out because of 
the massive amount of equipment and effort it would require from us, 
although we should be able to draw upon the resources of other LUGs and 
Penguicon itself.

And then, of course, there is also the potential to request that our
computer lounge is run with printers available for doing these printouts
as well.  Staffed computers with staffed printers seems like a more
stable and reliable solution than kiosks.
