I'm glad that this only happens once a year.

At least /. toned things down this year though...

Oh my did you ever trick me. I was certain that 1st place I'd find out about the release of the G5 Powerbook would be in the MacNN Forums on April Fools day...

oh wait no that was sarcasm.

It didn't even register that today was April Fool's to me... I just thought someone had whipped up some cool concept images of a prototype PowerBook G5. I guess that fooled...

I installed the Kernel Panic screen saver on my supervisor's computer... then, later in the say when he mentioned kernal panicking, I walked over to my machine, ssh'd to his machine, then opened up a text file on his machine saying, "Sorry about that Kernel Panic, it won't happen again... Happy April 1st!" and then I turned around with a bright smile and just waited for him to look back.
