Well, once again, hams make great canaries - someone just pointed out a feature of the registration system that I hadn't tried.
If you enter a spouse/guest name, it brings up a second opportunity to order items!
So the list and packages have been modified for the on-line system - you now order first for yourself, and if you enter a spouse/guest name, you get to order separately for them. If you (heartlessly) don't want to order anything for your spouse or guest, then don't enter their name(s)!
Everything else is working nicely :-)
