But I see no mention of our very long term helper's death in these = newsgroups.

Tributes aplenty in the Win98 general newsgroup some 10 hours ago.

Please take a break, David. I did, after posting notice of Alex's
passing in the Win98.Gen_Discussion group last night. I understand your feelings, but I somehow doubt Alex himself would have wanted you to berate anyone for not managing to remember to pass on the news while still in their own state of shock. -- Gary S.

That's good to know. I can't do anything but some need to step forward. =
I still don't see his name (in XP obviously 98 excluded from my comments = - how about adding XP.Gen to the thread over there?).

I was about to post the news myself when I saw your post. I was shocked to hear the news of the passing of Alex Nichol. I've only have asked one real tech question in the XP gen group, and it was Alex that answered it. He put aside his differences with me, and was a total gentleman about it, and helped me understand the workings of PA better, when most people would have been suspicious of my motives, and think I was setting them up for something. He was the best of the best in XP gen, and I both admired and respected him, and I will miss him. God has had one hell of a Rock-n-Roll band since the early 70's, but now he's got the best tech support and smoothest running computer system too! Good-bye, Alex! -- Kurtis Kirsch |
