HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EB!
All of you know her as EB, some of you know her as Darcy, and most of you know she’s a pretty special lady. She is the one who makes sure that everyone who writes gets an answer, every order gets filled, and everyone with a computer problem who has a Cloudeight Direct service key gets scheduled. Without her, Cloudeight would probably not be around anymore. She’s a fighter and she really cares and she makes the ideas I come up with work. My head’s always in the clouds — which is why we are called Cloudeight…not really…but my head is in the clouds. She makes this site work — and she does come up with some great ideas too.
Today is her birthday and I hope you will join me in wishing her all the best. What I wish most for her birthday is that all her dreams come true.
You probably don’t know this but she used to own a bar, and that’s where I met her. The bar was called Michigan^Tavern. Honest! I stumbled into her bar and starting fighting with her (it’s true). For some reason, in spite of my arrogance and contentious nature, she became my friend. I was a helpless nerd who knew almost nothing about computers then. My son was in a rock and roll band — and I made the world’s worst looking site, but I was proud of it. I showed it too her and rather than telling me it looked like a pile of junk she redid the entire site — she took her time to make the first web site I ever made look great — and she barely knew me and didn’t know my son at all. What she did with the junky looking site I made was amazing — but she never took any credit for fixing it up.
The year was 1997 and the bar Michigan^Tavern was virtual — it was a chatroom that EB and some of her friends had created. So we met in a virtual saloon and Cloudeight was born.
In 1998, after she took me under her wing and taught me a lot about making web sites and we created the first Cloudeight site. It was called “Thundercloud and Eightball’s Christmas Graphics and you can still see it by clicking here.
We both use to work other jobs back then. Every day whoever got home first would check the counter on the site to see how many people had visited. I can remember the day we got 50 visits and we were sure we were on our way to Web stardom — ha! — but there’s something beautiful about naivete. The excitement of having 50 visitors encouraged us and we kept working together.
One day, EB sent me an email with a scrolling background — and it had music playing. I thought she was magic! “How did you do that?” , I asked. We figured it out and started making stationery. It was then we created Cloudeight Stationery and it became wildly popular — at our peak we were getting 3 million visitors a year and our stationery became the most famous stationery on the Web.
We loved our jobs and we were so excited when we were working on a new stationery collection. We’d show each other what we had designed and couldn’t wait to release it to our subscribers and visitors. Cloudeight Stationery grew and grew – and Cloudeight became a business and our only job.
In 2002 we started Information Avenue and later InfoAve Premium to pass along some of the computer tricks and tips we’d learned over the years. It’s a good thing we did because when Microsoft introduced Windows 7, it had no email program, and therefore Windows 7 users couldn’t use our scrolling / musical stationery – our bread and butter. We had to completely re-invent Cloudeight and staying in business became a weekly struggle.
I have no doubt that if it weren’t for EB’s kindness and caring, we’d have gone belly-up several years ago. She never gave up and we came up with some other ideas and we’re still around. Cloudeight Direct Computer Care was her idea, not mine, and it really has helped us keep sailing on — and it really helped us get to know the folks who helped us through some very dark days.
Whether you know her as Darcy, EB, or both, she’s quite a lady and I’ve always felt quite lucky that, despite my cantankerous, contentious, belligerent nature, she saw through all that and saw a different part of me — the part I never show the world — the compassionate, generous, gentle part. We’ve been friends since I walked into that virtual saloon and I’m a better person for it. And any of you who have had the chance to get to know her are blessed too. She’s one in a billion and we’re all lucky to have her.
Looking through her phone, I found a couple of her selfies, and I’d love to share them with you:
EB finds TG sleeping on the job again: “I’ll get you my pretty!”
EB getting ready to ride her broom to the grocery store to get me beer.
She’s the best partner and friend anyone could ever have. I poke fun at her in almost every newsletter, and she laughs along with us all. She’s great and I’m lucky to have her — and so are all of you.
Happy Birthday, EB! May all your dreams come true…
Happy BIrthday Darcy ~ may it be one of your best ~ ever.
Happy Birthday Darcy. So glad to have met you all those years ago on NOTH. And to have you work your magic on my laptop, not once but twice. Hope you have had a wonderful birthday. Love and BIG hugs to you.
Happy Birthday to you special lady!!! I am a LONG time member and BIG fan of Cloudeight , I can’t thank YOU enough for all you do every day of the year! When I need the truth and an HONEST answer I always ask you guys and have NEVER been disappointed. In this world of NO customer service OR customer CARE period you all are a breath of fresh air. Darcy thank you for being you, wishing you every happiness always!
Happy-Happy Birthday!!!
Judy
Happy Birthday, Darcy. Thanks for being you, and sharing part of yourself with all of us. We love you.
Happy, Happy Birthday Darcy! I have been with you guys since the beginning of the Infoave Premium newsletter and trust only you guys. You have never steered me wrong and make me look smarter to all of my family and friends. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Holly
Wishing EB – Darcy a GREAT Birthday, belatedlly!! You are much appreciated, and admired!
CELEBRATE!!!
A very Happy Birthday wish for you. Thank you for all your work, you are both fantastic.
Janice
Happy belated birthday Darcy…I sorta read between the lines in TC s profile of you …how you met etc…that you are “partners” now in more ways than the Cloudeight newsletters etc… I am sure no one , other than someone who loves you deeply …could say the things that he says about you!!
!Whether TC is a “friend” or a” partner ” he writes the funniest letters and comments and is a computer whiz to boot…and you taught him everything her knows?
I love your newsletters and hope you can survive in this cut throat business…I am sure folk would not mind paying a yearly fee to belong to Cloudeight…I would do it and it would give you an assured income
I know you liked the Hibiscus Lady that I painted for you….I do a lot of painting on request…so if you have a picture (not a portrait…not my strong area) but any other sort of picture…that you would like me to paint for you do not hesitate to ask…Folk seem to like my semi abstract stuff but I do normal stuff too…in any size that is requested….Nice present for someone’s wedding or engagement…an original painting…I do not charge much for my work because I like to sell it and if I can get back the cost of the paint and canvas I am happy
I have one on Ebay Australia…at the moment….caberjam67 is my nickname…if you would like to have a look at it
Meanwhile …again a belated happy birthday
Cheers
Tricia McCosker
Happy Birthday, Darcy! I hope you have a long string of more, each year between the birthdays filled with love, happiness and good health.
You two have been a source of information and entertainment to me for years. Thank you for putting up with old what’s-his-face and keeping the place running.
Wishing you a terrific Happy Birthday Darcy with many more to follow. I have been with you folks for years & will continue as I have learned a lot from your letters. Have a great year & keep up the good work you do.
You are where you are suppose to be when you are suppose to be there for a reason.
Take good care of each other
Lois
Happy Birthday Darcy. I just found the receipt for my first computer from 2000. It wasn’t long before I found your stationary. I subscribed to your free newsletter for a while then paid my lifetime subscription. I have learned so much over the years from both of you so, wishing you many many more birthdays. Thanks for all the suggestions and programs to keep us safe and all the tips to make us oh so smart.
The happiest of birthdays to you! Enjoy the day, it is yours!
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY EB! God Bless you for all you do!! Go Buckeye’s!! Sorry, had to get that in knowing your from Michigan:)

Dear Darcy,
Many blessings to you on your very special day. I hope you receive gifts that make you as happy as you have made so many people with the creation of your stationary, website, Cloudeight Direct Care etc. From TC’s writings about you and from having computer-related dealings with you in the past, I can tell that what he said is absolutely true. I’d like to share part of my user name with you and indeed liken you to a snowflake…..never are any 2 alike. So do whatever makes you happiest on your birthday and let me just say that I can’t wait to read something about TC on his birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY/EB—BEEN WITH THE SITE SINCE THE START ALMOST
USE THE STATIONERY-HAVE USED SEVERAL COMPUTER HELPS AND WILL TAG ALONG WITH
YOU BOTH AS LONG AS YOU ARE AROUND—A LONG TIME WE ALL HOPE
WHAT A GREAT PERSON YOU ARE AND THANKS FOR STAYING STRONG THREW IT ALL
GOD BLESS ON YOUR B-DAY AND MANY MORE TO COME……
Happy Birthday Darcy! I hope you have the best birthday ever! Hugs!
I’ve been with you all since 2001. You both are the best. Happy birthday, Darcy and wishing many more for you.
Happy Birthday Lady and May All Your Dreams Come True!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY !! Have a wonderful day !
I wanted to say Thank You Darcy as well as Happy Birthday. I already dropped off a card on your NOTH Page but still wanted to tell you how very much we appreciate you and your work. Probably talk to you Mon. when one of you will be working on my son’s computer. Have a wonderful day.
I remember stationary. And then there was scrolling stationary. Oh my! I was so excited! I think I still have every one of them saved on my computer (I now use all Apple, but I have parallel program on it and could probably get to Outlook Express on XP and use it still)!!! I hope some of the older computers and parts I sent helped you somehow. I LOVE everything Apple but LOVE your newsletters too (I would continue to pay a yearly fee). I also love all the tips daily on twitter. And pass on lots of info to friends. I do use win 7 at work but got lost when 8 came out. You two are the greatest and I have so many friends from the Hill that are super special to me because of your generous time in putting NOTH together. I know that we are all blessed beyond mesures because of you both! So Darcy, I’m toasting a virtual drink in the Michigan Tavern to your birthday! And to many, many, many more! And thanking God you are there for us!
Blessings & Hugs from Fategrandma
Happy Birthday Darcy! Have a fun and Happy Birthday celebration and a fruitful year!
Happy Birthday EB. I’ve known you since nearly the beginning of Cloudeight. Well written TC. She is special. I hope you are having a special day and all of your dreams do come true! You are special. You do special things and you treat people like they are special. Many more EB! And I never knew the full story of how you guys met and how Cloudeight really started. Very cool!
Happy Birthday, Darcy. Wishing you a great birthday and years more of helping people which seems to be your gift.
Happy Birthday Darcy and I hope you have many more to come.
Happy Birthday. Darcy. Like many others, I have learned so much from you and been guided into becoming confident in using the web, etc. I too have received your newsletters for many years and also used your stationery. I hope that you take pleasure in knowing that you have helped so many of us “older” folk to become more knowledgeable in using our computers without getting into a whole heap of expensive trouble!
Happy Birthday Darcy and many more
Happy Birthday EB…we should all have someone like you in our lives..
Only good thoughts on your birthday Darcy. Both you and TC are probably the only reason I can tolerate this thing they call a Computer. I have learned more because of my association with you and look forward to your next birthday and the help you have and will give us in the future. Blessings, Don
Darcy: God gave a gift to the world when you were born; a person who loves and cares, who sees a person’s need and fills it, who spends energy on others rather than on herself, who touches each life she enters and makes a difference in the world. Happy birthday to someone who has given so much to so many. And here’s to many, many more birthdays! Thank you (and you too TC) for all that you do. 🙂
Happy Birthday Darcy. Thank you for the many, many, happy days you have given us with any new computer aids that we have been able to put to use. May your new year be one of contentment and happiness.
Happy Birthday EB! Enjoy and may there be man y more. I doubt I could get along without you and TC.
Happy Birthday EB! It is both admirable and refreshing that both you and TC have the tenacity to resist all the commercial skullduggery rampant on the net, and the moral strength put your customers’ interests first. May you be blessed with many more years of success.
Happy Birthday, Darcy…and many more. Wishing you happiness and all the blessings your heart can hold. Also wishing you much success in the future. I’ve been with you a LOOOONG time and I am so grateful to you and TC for all you have done to educate and protect me and my PC. As others have said, I will be with you as long as you are in the business and will support you in any way that I can.
Happy Birthday Darcy….many happy returns to my forever go to person for computer advice. I wish you lived next door to me sometimes….if you did….I’d be a pc whiz and we could share wine or coffee or whatever occasionally. I have been with “Premium” for over 10 years and its’ the only newsletter I can rely on….keep up the good work.
HBD2U Darcy
Happy Birthday wishes to you EB! May God bless you throughout the coming years!
You and TC have been such a blessing to me. Thank you–I appreciate you so much!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! May you have many more. I’ve been into computing for a little over fifteen years now. You guys really don’t know how much you have helped me learn from your site. Please keep up the great work that you do.
God bless,
“Peteski” Karczmarczyk
I’ve never been lucky enough to have Darcy work on my computer but maybe I will be soon. Have a wonderful birthday, Darcy. I look forward to work with you.
Happy Birthday Darcy. There are many of us out here who would probably be without working PCs by now if not for you. God Bless you for many years to come.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful lady that has continued to impress me ever since I had the good fortune to find Cloud Eight! You are one amazing person!!
Best wishes Darcy. Thanks for all you do so willingly. You have kept a lot of us going with our computers. Happy Birthday~
Happy Birthday Darcy!
I hope you have the best birthday ever!
A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.
I hope you are having a marvelous birthday, Darcy! I am glad you were born, and TC is right that we are all lucky to have you. Many happy returns too.
Just adding to what has already been said…
Hope your day has been wonderful and may every day throughout the coming year, and all the years the Lord has planned for you, be overflowing with His blessings.
Happy Birthday Darcy. What an amazing lady you are. I have learned so much from both you and TC and I am so thankful I found Cloudeight way back when. Darcy, you have made such a terrific contribution to so many people and you have absolutely made a difference in this world. God Bless.
Dear Darcy,
May you have one of the best birthdays ever! You have truly made the world a better place, and we are all so thankful for you.
May God watch over you and fill each day of your life with joy, love and good health.
Happy Birthday Lady! Thank you and many more successes! Bless you and yours.
Wishes for the Happiest of Birthdays to one of God’s most wonderful gifts to the rest of us.
Lots of Hugs, Sue
Happy Birthday to EB!! I have been a premium member for many years and Cloudeight has brought me many smiles and a lot of computer knowledge. I hope your birthday brings you as much happiness as you have brought to your readers.
Happy Birthday. Have a good one.
Happy Birthday and a great big “thank you!” to you, Darcy, for keeping TC & EB up and going. And don’t feel bad about the “selfies”. My hubby has the first pic of the Wicked Witch on his cell phone and the music that’s used when Miss Gulch rides her bike as my photo and ringtone (my choices, no worries. It was either that, or Darth Vader lol). I hope you had a wonderful day.
Many Happy Returns, Darcy! Your bailouts and tips over a long stretch have been most appreciated!
All the best…always
Dick
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY” Darcy !!! — and hopefully many more to come !!!
I have been ‘with’ you guys pretty much since the beginning, and quite honestly I really don’t know who, where, or what I would turn to if you were not around ! I save your info., and buy your E-books because this old brain of mine just won’t remember it all any more ! You are always there with a quick response when I have needed it – GOD bless you Darcy– you deserve the BEST !! One of these days I will call upon you to use one of the ‘Computer Keys’ I have purchased — I try to support you as best I can .
I wish you GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS, and PROSPERITY now and in the years ahead !!
Dave.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY!
You are really a very special person!!
I have enjoyed your web site for many years and have learnt so much from it. Your suggestions etc are always s explained in “layman” terms which suits an old duffer like me.. So a very, very happy birthday to EB and may you continue to provide your pearls od wisdom for many years to come.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Darcy!
With a big Thank You for all you have done for me.
May many blessings come your way.
G’Day and Happy Birthday EB have a Great Day this is from all your fans in Australia
Happy Birthday, EB! I am very grateful for Info Ave and for the stationery when we could use it. I started off with your stationery that my sister found and then went on to become a premium member. Just about everything I know came from your newsletters. So, hope you can continue on for many years yet. We need you still.
Best wishes and good health,
jean
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY!! Wishing a fantastic day and year, to the most wonder lady on the internet!
Thanks for everything you do, from all of us in Canby Oregon.
Happy birthday, lovely lady!
TC makes me wish I, too, had wandered into that virtual bar and met you. Good friends such as you are very hard to find and it’s great you managed to find each other.
Much love!
Billie
Happy Birthday EB, I have known you and TC for a long time and I hope you will be around a lot longer. I have learned so much about computers from you and I can never say thank you enough. I hope you had a wonderful day and God Bless you both.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARCY!!
Wishing you the best of everything, today, and forever. Thanks so much for always being there to help, when I get into a computer jam. I love all the news and helpful hints in the Cloudeight newsletter every week. I know that you bend over backwards, to give us your very best, in all the Direct Care help. Blessings for years to come, to a great gal!! I wish that you lived closer, so we could meet in person. 🙂
Thelma
Happy birthday, Darcy. As a long-time subscriber, I deeply appreciate what you do. Many more successful years of “doing”!
Happy Birthday Darcy: May all your days be as special as you are! Thank you for all you and TC do for the rest of us non-tech people. I for one don’t know what I would do without the two of you being my go-to pc resource. Thank you! Wishing you all the best today and every day! Jennifer
Happy Birthday Darcy! I have appreciated your knowledge and wit for the past (too many) years! I hope the coming year is your best ever. I wish for you all the success and happiness in the universe!
Happy Birthday Darcy! I hope the coming year brings you good health and a lot of happiness.
Happy Birthday, Special Lady!!!! I, too, hope all your dreams come true.
Happy Birthday Darcy, and may you always have good health and love in your fife.
Take all the good wishes mentioned above & double them from me. May you enjoy many more birthdays.
Happy birthday, EB! I was an early fan, drawn in by the stationery and was hooked for life. You guys have been my source of truth on the web since my earliest computer days and your advice made me look “smart” for a long time. You deserve all the credit though! Best wishes always!
“Happy Birthday Darcy”. I treasure the fact that I have gotten to know you and TC. You’ve made my computer life a much more pleasant experience. Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given me. You both are great!!! I wish you a beautiful day today, and many-many more to come.
Kathy
Happy, happy birthday, Darcy, and many, many more. I hope your day was wonderful.
Jean
Happy BirtHday Darcy and many, many more!
Happy Birthday Darcy!
I sincerely hope you have many more!
Darcy, I hope you not only enjoyed a great birthday today, but hope you have a year ahead that is richly blessed with goodness! I have been with Cloudeight since 1998 and have learned to trust and recommend many of what you have created over time. You have helped me different times and I have appreciated your knowledge and promptness. Reading this tribute to you by your friend and colleague was very heart warming. True friendship is hard to find today and still having that friendship while running a business together–well, it shows you both are not only gifted, but caring and respectful. Happy Day!
Happy birthday, Darcy! As TC says, you’re pretty special- pretty, and special!
Michael
Happy, Happy Birthday Darcy! You both have been a tremendous help to me over the many years I have been part of your web ‘family’. We are all so very lucky that the two of you met up and you were gracious enough to see thru the crust on TC to the softy beneath ! Have a wonderful year and thank you for all that you do!
Happy Birthday, Darcy–You’ve taught me so much over all these years and I’m sure glad you were tough enough to weather all the rough storms! Right now tho—I HOPE YOU’RE STILL OUT CELEBRATING! May you have many, many more birthdays & may each one be the best one ever!
Greetings from Down Under,
Happy Birthday Darcy, trust that you will enjoy your special day.
Thank you for your hard work to enable all of us survive in the ever changing world that is happening in
IT and computers
We would be lost without you.
Aussie Norm
Hi Darcy….. Wishing you the start of a beautiful year of happiness, with countless blessings today, tomorrow, and each day in the coming year!
Happy Birthday!
Darcy, I hope this birthday was the best one ever! Not only is TC very lucky to have you as a partner (and to keep him straight!), but we are all so blessed that you have shared yourself, your time and talent, and your knowledge with all of us.
I bought the recently recommended software, Reg. Organizer, based completely on your review. I so trust you that I didn’t even check out the website or the free program–just bought it as soon as I read your review. Of course, when I installed Reg Organizer and ran it on my computer, I got the same great results you experienced. We are putting this software on my husband’s computer too.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful lady who means so much to us all!
Happy birthday Darcy, Many thanks for all that you do and have done with Direct computer care for me. It is all very much appreciated and I have been with you both for many years. Hope you have a great day and many more happy years.
Darcy / EB, Just hoping you had a great day yesterday (as it is the 31st here).
The above comments have said it all, so I shall just wish you a” happy belated birthday” .
Happy Happy Birthday, Darcy. May all the kindness and joy you bestow on others come back ten-fold to you. God gives us reasons to celebrate . . . and you are one of them. His blessings today and always, Darcy.
Happy Birthday to a very special lady, with love an best wishes and thanks for all the info over the years, may your days be filled love, joy and happiness. Thanks from all us here in Australia.
Happy Belated Birthday, Darcy! You are the best person I’ve ever had the pleasure to chat with. When you installed the Emisisoft Anti Malware, you couldn’t have been any nicer. You were very patient with me and with your sense of humor, made me feel very comfortable. We are so fortunate that you are here and I hope it’s for a very long time..
Bless you…
Happy Birthday Darcy! It’s so hard to put into words just how much you mean to all of us. We’ve been following you for many years now and it just seems to get better and better.
Thank you for all that you do for us.
May you have many, many birthdays to follow this one.
Happy Birthday Darcy, all the best , hope you had an awesome day 🙂
Happiest of birthdays to a very special person. Hope all your wishes come true..
Dear Darcy,

I found you in 2000 when my husband bought me my first computer.
Thank you for all of the things you have shared with us over the years as I have learnt all I know about computers from you & TC. I loved what TC has written has he has said it all from all of us whom cannot put it into words as well as he has done.
You are both kind & generous people & you are loved by all of us out here in cyber space.
Keep up the great job you both do to help us “oldies”.
Have a wonderful day & may it continue on. Take care of yourself &TC.
Thinking of you from the other side of the world.
Wishing you the Happiest Birthday Ever EB! Best Regards…..Pj
Happy, Happy Birthday dear Darcy, there are so many things one could say about you and to you. I will just say that I am so fortunate to be one of those internetters who found you (and the other one, ha, ha!) on my travels year ago in cyber space. TC is often singing your praises and I would like to join him. Thank you for doing what you do for all of us.
Hi Darcy, Here’s wishing you a very happy birthday and ho-e that you really lived it up on your special day. You are a very special lady and as I have been with you since the beginning your have helped me in so many ways and educated me so much (I didn’t even know what a mouse was prior to joining up with you). So have a very happy day and best wishes for any more.
Happy Wonderful Birthday Darcy!!!!!! Thanks for coming into our lives and educating us about things we did not know, helping to find software to help us out, and just making our lives a lot better than they would be without you!!
Have a wonderful Year!!!
Wishing you all the blessings you can handle on your birthday and all the rest of your life as you are one special lady!!

Hope you had a most awesome day yesterday. Better late than never, right! Been with you guys since nearly the beginning. Still love reading Info Ave Premium and look forward to it, always. Hope you had a delicious birthday cake 🙂
A very happy belated birthday, Darcy! I hope your special day was filled with love, joy and laughter and was as special as you are! I hope for you many more wonderful and successful years to celebrate on your special day. God bless you with all your heart desires.
You have been such a blessing to many and I am so very glad you have been a part of my internet life of whice you have touched more deeply than you can ever imagine.
Love you lady.
My virtual friend i wish as well as all the rest of us we could sit and have cake and ice cream with you and sing Happy Birthday to you but that just aint gonna happen. I’m sure everyone of us would like to buy a big present for you but that aint gonna happen, But what is going to happen is I’m gonna tell you my friend that i have never met in person that my wish is that God will shine his blessings down on you and yours because of what you have done for a lot people including me with our problems out here in the cloud land. So get a good cup of coffee sit back relax and thank God for another birthday where so many people thank the world of you.
God Bless HogMan
Happy Birthday, Darcy (EB) ! You have helped so many people over the years, it must be very rewarding to realize that. TCs tribute to you revealed some of your background, but not much personal information.. I understand your reasons for being private about it, but I have wondered about some of his remarks in reference to your relationship with each other. Human curiosity makes us fill in the blanks in our minds and perhaps knowing the truth might be less harmful than you realize. It would not affect my thinking about Info Ave in any way, except to feel I know you a little more as a friend. I hope I am not being too presumptuous , but I fear I am.
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, and many, many more HAPPY ones!
Happy Birthday Darcy!!!!
I wish you a very Happy Birthday and hope you have many more.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY! You deserve all the best on your special day. May it be a most wonderful, awesome, special day. I think you are great and appreciate all the knowledge you share with all of us that just don’t have the know how to do things. You are a godsend to this senior citizen.
What the world needs is more prized ladies like yourself, you are SO appreciated 🙂
Have a Fabulous Birthday knowing how well loved you are. Your talents and help go way
around the world 🙂 TC is lucky and so are all of us to have you in our lives 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY –
A little late but very sincere – hope you had a super birthday.
Thanks for everything you and he do!

Happy Belated Birthday EB. Hope you had a great day! Thanks for everything you do for us & maybe some day we can do something for you.
Hello Darcy,
Happy Birthday! So many things I want to say and the words have already been spoken.
My prayer is that GOD bless you with enough.
A beautiful tribute posted from TC’s heart.
Thank you for all the two of you do for all of us. Without your help all these years, I would still be sitting and staring at my computer and wondering what to do next.
Wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY and may God grant you many more.
Happy birthday EB and wish you have a great day . !!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday, E.B.!! May God’s richest blessings be upon you always. Thanks for your computer help twice. You are the best.

Happy Belated Birthday. Hope you had a great birthday.
Hi Darcy,
I wnat to be among those who wished you a Happy Birthday. I pray that you have many more birthdays.
I agree with everything that everyone has said about you. I wish that I knew you personally. I am so grateful that you took the time and fixed my “old” computer. I had so many problems with it but no longer. I have been with you and TC since 1999 and relied on you and TC to keep all of us out of trouble. Many thanks to both of you. Oh, I read what TC had to say about you and I got kind of teary. Take good care of yourself and God Bless You.

Many Happy Returns Darcy, I can’t add anything more to all the accolades above except to say It’s been great knowing you all these years ( if only via the computer), and I look forward to many more special times ahead.
Good Luck, Good Health and lots of happy days for you in the coming year. God Bless. :-))
Hay Birthday Darcy. I have learned lots from your CE letters. I say it is so generous of you to share your computer knowledge with everyone. Most everyone sees dollar signs before releasing that info so freely. And even since you started your computer care business you still get out tons of free advice. I do trust your site and have purchased several programs you recommend. Again, I join many others wishing you a very happy(almost belated) birthday.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU!
Happy Birthday Darcy, may your special day be extra special filled with love and joy and good health and you are blessed with many many more to come..I have been with you both since 2000 and I thank you every day for the kind and caring person that you are , always giving us free advice ..for all the newsletters I look forward to receiving … for fixing my computer the other night.. I am very lucky to have come across both of you all those years ago, and will stay with you both forever, this senior citizen appreciates and is very grateful to you both for all that you do for us. Once again a very Happy Birthday Darcy and may God Bless you.
Love and Hugs, Robyn in Australia
Happy Birthday, Darcy. TC is so right about you. You deserve all the best wishes and happiness you can get.
I found your web site two weeks after you all started and have enjoyed every weekly and daily article you have put out.
There is no one except you and TC that I trust with my computers. I have learned so much over all these years.
The fountain of youth has worked wonders for you. I just found out that you could fly. That is amazing. I hope you have another wonderful year and many, many more.
Happy belated birthday wishes Darcy. I hope you had a lovely daqy.
I read that you are the person who answers emails. Sad to say, I have written twice already regarding the computer keys, but so far I have not had any reply. I was interested in getting a couple of them.
Thanks Betty
Darcy I Hope you had a very Happy Birthday and hope you have many, many more Happy Birthdays.

Wow.. what a wonderful bunch of folks you all are for leaving such nice birthday wishes. I just got done reading each and every wish and wanted to say thank you all so much! I am a bit speechless.. which is unusual for me! Ask TC!!
Bless you all too.
Darcy

happy birthday darcy and many more to come………………
Happy Birthday wishes to you Darcy, may the joy you give to others come back to you today.
Happy belated birthday, Darcy! I hope your day was extra special! I discovered Thundercloud soon after you started and at that time was a fairly new computer user. I have learned so much from you over the years. It didn’t take long to realize that you were the only ones on the Internet that I felt I could rely on to be accurate in everything you said and therefore to also use the programs that you recommended. Thank you and TC so much for all your help through the years. Thank you for being so true to all your followers. I look forward to the time when I can use one of my computer keys for help. I wish you much happiness!!
Darcy you have a very special place in the heart of your subscribers. Whatever your continued goals, dreams we all wish they come true. Across the land we sincerely wish you a very Happy Birthday.
