CLUG members, as some will know, I am a fan of the emulation systems, etc. A short time ago I checked out the NeTraverse web site and discovered that they have a LUG sponsoring setup.
I sent them a letter to enquire about it, and received a reply. This is it. I see the use of Win4Lin as a valuable way of getting the foot in the door, so to speak. If companies can get the stability of Linux and keep their office systems running without pause, we may just get a few more of them on our side. So, it's up to us - what do we want to do with it?

Hinkle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Wesley Parish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wesley, I am including our standard informational letter to interested LUGS. <snipped - personal information> NeTraverse Recruitment Letter I would be glad to help out, if you send me the information for your LUG I will be glad to send you software. What I am looking for is the following information: LUG Name City State Administrative Contact Name Administrative Contact Email LUG URL Here is our standard recruitment letter detailing the program. We have seen Linux grow, in large part, from the work and evangelism thathas occurred in computer user groups like yours. We would like to help sponsor these efforts by donating software and support to your LUG, coupled with a special member-only offer. NeTraverse would like to offer you a free license for our Win4Lin Workstation Edition 5.0 software (an $89.99 value) - the best way to bridge Windows to Linux, especially for those hard to replace applications. In addition, we would like to offer your membership a discount of $20 off the retail price of Win4Lin Workstation Edition 5.0. To take advantage of the member discount, we ask that you notify your membership by email, or announce at your monthly meeting, that NeTraverse is now sponsoring you and that members are entitled to the special benefits described in the welcome letter. We would like to list all sponsored LUGs on our LUG page (http://www.netraverse.com/LUG/) and continue to make special offers to all LUG members. This would be done by sending you an email so you can decide whether to include it in your normal user group communications (NeTraverse does not want to, and will not, SPAM you with junk mail). We are very excited about this chance to help the communities that have helped us. If you would like to sign up for this offer please reply to this email with the following information so we may update our records: LUG Name City State Administrative Contact Name Administrative Contact Email LUG URL We will reply with our welcome letter and an electronic certificate with a Win4Lin license code. You will also be informed on how to help your members take advantage of our LUG sponsorship discounts. Regards, Mark R.
