    I wasn't fooled... I just came in here to see who had been... honest! :eek:

    Them's the rules. If you haven't humiliated the intended target by lunchtime, you're the fool. Two good things come from this.

    1: it's more of a challenge
    b) your employer then gets atleast half a days work out of you! :p

    A truly terrible april fools joke would be if Dell were to put out a press release saying "Dell to replace all M1530 grainy screens" today, and then claim it to be an april fools joke.

    I would have a hard time not driving the short trip to their offices and hurling my m1530 through a window of their building...
