#10 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 01:50 68kMLA

I think we should leave it awhile. It's a bit of a refreshing change in the style.

Ohhhh we're going to get you back sooo bad next year, ~tl.

#18 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 02:00 68kMLA

Sorry, can't comment.

But what I will say is that we are negotiating a deal with MS to have MS ads on the 68kMLA forums. And they're going to regularly run competitions just for you guys.

But they gave us so much money!

Many years ago, one of the Calgary newspapers decided to run their April fools joke on a local computer users group. The Calgary Unix Users Group, to be specific. Now the thing about the CUUG at the time was that they were more professionally oriented because Unix was used a lot in the oil-patch. So the Herald ran a story about how Microsoft entered into a business deal with this users group. Cringe.

I forget the details because of the trauma.

#23 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 02:57 68kMLA

Yeah, it's still many hours away from being April 1 here...

#29 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 05:25 68kMLA

What I particularly like is that the Windows Liberation Army name carries on through the window titles and the History menu in browsers.

#33 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 11:23 68kMLA

nice joke, but you forgot to edit the copyright, and give us some windows emoticons for the day.

I also got an email from someone on here, they said "I saw your post on the Windows Liberation Army forums", so it's fooling some people

#34 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 15:19 68kMLA

Well, it looks as though the logo didn't last long....wonder why? Would have been nice to have it just for the day.

#35 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 - 15:30 68kMLA

It's tradition (in the UK at least) to only play pranks until 12 noon. Anything done after that and you're the fool, not the person you're playing it on. Hence, to avoid being more of a fool than usual, I took it down just before 12 noon BST [

PS: I've merged all the topics about this into one...

Its the same here in Australia, TL.

Hence why my exploding MacBook gag only lasted a couple of hours
