Tyche was a cat. Specifically, a Siamese seal point that my daughter bought. She wanted affection as a kitten, but would bite after only a couple of seconds of petting. I told my daughter to either train her not to bite or I would – but if I trained her the cat would end up mine. Guess who ended up training her (it took about 3 weeks). She used to stand on my lap with her front paws in front of the keyboard watching the screen when I typed. When I first got on the internet, the ISP asked me for a user name. The only thing I could think of on the spur of the moment was that cat, and I’ve been Tyche ever since.

At one time, the only way I could get some demo and free software was if I were a company or organization. It wasn’t that the publishers only wanted companies and organizations to have the software, it was that their web development department didn’t understand how to set up a form. Thus, Tyche Enterprises was born.

I must say, that cat got into everything.
