I met Daddy-O right after IYT shutdown their boards and I started my forum, it was the old forum (Aceboards) when people were joining like hotcakes, it was very busy at that time and I was running around trying to answer everybody's questions, and I remember Daddy-O joining. I remember he posted a pic of a book he wrote on with Microsoft Paint that read "Tyler's Toolbox". I was fascinated that someone would take the time to do that, and also that the segment on IYT's "Chess Opponents Board" reached people I had never even heard of before, but somehow he knew me from that weekly post I used to make and much to my surprise many other people too. At the old forum people asked me to start posting those segments again, I did for awhile and then I slacked off. I always had plenty of readers but few would reply/post to it, but I got plenty of PMs over it..lol
For those of you that aren't familiar with it, it was a weekly post I would make on the COB all about computers and the tools (software) to make your PC run better. I did it for a long time and sometimes people would ask me questions, but I never knew of a Daddy-O until he joined and made that pic of "Tyler's Toolbox". I did it then becuase so many people were arguing and bitching about "whatever", I wanted to post something in an attempt to break the monotony, it was my way of saying "I don't give a shit about your bickering" I guess, but I had no idea people were actually reading it..lol I met Figi thru that segment I posted too, she PMed me with a question if I remember correctly. I liked Figi right away, we hit it off good.
Sorry to hear about his wife, that's too bad.
