Yes, it's been a very tough year, I found out last night that a very dear friend died last week, his daughter was going through his email account to find people that she could let know. He was a former MVP and we met through the Microsoft newsgroups, mainly the WinME group and even though I'd never actually met him in person both myself and John, who knew him through me, classed him a very dear friend.
Then turn the TV on this morning to find out Barbara Windsor had died, just how much more crap is this year going, to throw at us, I'll certainly be glad to see the back of 2020.
