Purpose of FidoNet WIN2000 - Windows 2000 Support Echo
******************************************************

LAST REVISED: April 16th, 2001 by Moderator
-!-----------------------------------------

 The WIN2000 - Windows 2000 Support Echo is a community 
 environment for all Windows users, programmers, and operators
 who are looking for Technical assistance, information, and 
 the convergence of Win95-based and NT-based operating
 systems with Windows 2000.

 We do provide discussions on anything that is Windows 2000
 related whether it be BBS questions, compatibility issues,
 or just wanting to discuss the functionality of the operating
 system.  We realize this product is still new and in many
 areas, may not be territory that we're all familar with so
 therefore this echo is to allow anyone who has any questions
 which are directly or indirectly related to Windows 2000 to
 proposes those questions and get their desired responses that
 which they need.

 Currently, this conference is available to all persons even
 if they are programmers, developers, users, or operators of
 Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 machines.  The Moderator retains
 the right to close to Conference to SysOps or specific groups
 of individuals without prior notice.

 As moderator, I ask that all SysOps try to monitor messages
 published here by their clients/callers to related topic
 material that pertains to this conference purposes.

Rules for the WIN2000 - Windows 2000 Support Echo

1.  No BBS advertisements are welcome in the Conference.
    A simple "Hello, I'm new here" will do perfectly fine.

2.  Product advertisements -ARE- welcome under the following
    conditions:

 a. Keep advertisements to -ONE PAGE or LESS- (where
    one page references to 40 lines or less) which includes
    tearlines and useless data such as the offline reader
    signature lines, etc.

 b. Advertisements should be written to convey strict
    PROFESSIONALISM of both the advertiser and audience.

 c. Products advertised must be DIRECTLY used on the Windows
    95/98/NT/2000 systems.  We realize this is a wide range,
    so please use good judgement in what needs to be advertised.

 d. Price of product may be included in advertisement at
    poster's discretion.

 e. Either a FidoNet node number, phone number or mail
    address should be provided as a courtesy means of 
    contact.

 f. The Moderator will have the final decision as to
    what products and/or services are appropriate to
    advertise.

3.  *FLAMING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED TO ANY EXTENT* Period!
    This is regardless of person, vendor, product, service
    whether they are a participant or not of this echo.

4.  Please keep all messages -ON TOPIC-.  Any posted message
    that does not -DIRECTLY RELATE- to Windows 2000 in any way
    is considered -OFF TOPIC-!

    If you have any question to what is -TOPIC- material,
    please *ASK* or re-read this Rules post.

    The moderator has the final decision as to what is and
    is not TOPIC material.

5.  Excessive quoting of messages is strictly prohibited.
    When responding to a message, please QUOTE *ONLY* THE
    TEXT YOU WISH TO RESPOND TO, NOTHING MORE.  Even though

    FidoNet by anyone to or from any QWK or Fido Technology network
    without the direct express permission of the moderator.

9.  Repeated offsenses of the rules by any participant may result
    in the node's link to this Conference being banned.

    do not accept BUG REPORTS for Microsoft.
