Remember that there is no WiFi at the venues this year (and probably forever) due to the new control system, so that would be something you'd have to do beforehand, but a good idea none the less. Unfortunately, that kind of programming gets REALLY complex, especially if you're trying to do it cross-platform, because of all the special protocols you have to link in in order to use the internet.

The [enter] shortcut closing the window was fun to find out the first time (especially running slowly under WINE), but a very nice program! I like the portability, and as far as making an "installable" version, that doesn't really mean much more than extracting the folder in a system folder (usually Program Files) so that all of the users on the computer can access it, so it's probably not necessary.
