Will a statue be set up for Alex Nichol at Redmond, WA at Microsoft HQ?

I'd like to see his name remembered in an annual award for excellence.

Yes, he really was that good - he was an inspiration to me! I had the
good fortune to travel down to Bournemouth to meet him once, when
visiting my then-partner in London around the turn of the century. It
was raining, and we didn't see Bournemouth but geeked around with
Windows instead <g> It's really painful to lose him

That is a great idea! An Award for the best of the best. Perfect
actually.

WOW, I really know that he is even more special than I thought if he impacted
you as well, Chris. <!!!>

I agree with you Kurt and Chris. Hopefully, it will be done because Alex
Nichol was so special to all of us even to a newbie in this newsgroups like
me. I have only been around a little while as compared to others that have
been posting to Microsoft newsgroups for a long time.
