I was happy to speak with Frank Hund at the Messe, and he gave me permission to inform you about the new PCI-e cards with fast Sharcs that will come out next month (beta).
The bad thing for most of you is that they will only support the Macintosh platform untill next Christmas, as this was much easier to get it right in a short time.
He assured me tho that Vista will definitely be supported in the future, alas XP will be left as history.
I feel proud to be allowed to forward this to you

Excellent prank Hubird. You are a credit to the Dutch people!

Darn, and I was going to post about the new 'Solaris on a USB stick" product, releasing today!

What firubbi said

(which sounds very much like Rasputine in Hugo Prat's Corto Maltese comic strip...)

147 indeed
Or 417 if you want.

G, I never thought this would work.
so much improbabilities in a bunch, and yet some believed it was true

My apologies to mister Frank Hund, but i needed his 'signature' to let believe people it was true.
Thanks mister Hund

In Europe we say 01-04-2007 indded, not the other way around.
II was aware of that, who doesn't know 9/11 after all, therefor 147 did hide the date better.

Thanks guys, I had some fun last night

[faxinadu]

hahahahahah got me

The joke wasn't funny in this global age of instant reading. Over here on the west coast of the U. States, it was March 31st. I wasn't expecting to be hit with April fools' jokes.

I really do hope Frank is working on PCI-E cards with TigerSharcs for the Mac, though! (Let him take notice....)

huub, great fooling but please could you think about the weak heart of some scope fanatics on wintel in future!

[hubird]

I'll remember

you're right Shayne, ... this global age of instant reading. Over here on the west coast of the U. States, it was March 31st..
but I had no choice
the coincidence of the Messe ending (without real CW news) and the current date was to good to let go

nope 4/1/07. get it right.....
