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!

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

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....)

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
