I wonder what could be done to improve the response-rate of a
registration form.  And at this point, I have to make the
embarrassing admission that I haven't seen whatever registration
form there is.  My main use of FreeBSD (so far) is to take parts
of it and get them working on a variety of unix platforms here
at RPI.  So, I haven't ever actually installed FreeBSD to see
a registration form.

(I've *tried* to install it several times under various versions
of VirtualPC on a PowerMac, and I *intend* to install it on a new
PentiumPro machine I'm buying, but at the moment I haven't done
any installs of my own).

I assume that any registration is a URL to a web page at
www.freebsd.org.  What does that look like?  Also, what kind
of performance do people see when they connect to www.freebsd.org?
(by "people", I mean "people on this mailing list").  There are
times when it's frustratingly slow for me, but I don't know if
that's just a function of the path between RPI and that site, or
if I just happen to check at busy times of the day.
