Hee hee hee. I figured it out!

The Delphi thing looks pretty cool, but imagine how "TALL" that thing would actually have to be!!!

Awww, man. Does that mean no OQO? I guess I'll have to blow that five grand on something else. :(

Thanks for all the laughs :way to go: :lol:

8O I've always said, if I read it in OQO thoughts, it must be true.

No real news will ever be posted to a Thoughts Media site until after 12 noon mountain time - it's unfair to mix real news into that!

Huh! For those on this side of the pond who were working and only just been able to log on (e.g. me), adding the April Fools to the front of the offending articles takes all the fun out of it! :-) I know its all over by 12 O'Clock but ... I'd forgotten it was April Fools Day - guess who's the April Fool!!!! :oops:

I think he was making a very dry joke. See the link to his site in his sig. :D

I like the quote ""I like sidetalkin' and I'm not afraid to let the world know," said one user who wished to remain anonymous." :mrgreen:

I think I had a lot more fun with this than I do writing real Zodiac news, though I'm not sure I could come up with original fake news with a Zodiac twist on a daily basis.

So let me see if I understand this - we're supposed to click on your Web site and see how funny you are before we flame you for acting like a Scrooge on this site? :? Your sense of humour is far, far outside my realm of understanding. I guess we should both be glad I didn't finish my flame - I haven't had my anger buttons pressed like that in a very, very long time Scott.

Besides, I thought your April Fools day joke was to have a Web site that hasn't been updated (http://www.goodthatway.com/) for several months. Guess not.

Your last reply? Given that I'm looking at your post count, and it is "1", I'm not sure where your last reply would be...

Scott, honestly, if you look at the tone of most of your messages on this site, your latest post fit right in with the rest of them, so I had absolutely no reason to think it was funny or amusing.

My 1st reply said something to the words of," Ha Ha very funny, When a real OQO site hits the web i will no longer visit pocket pc sites, in fact I will replace all my limited pocket pc devices with real PDA's, like the OQO and all my pocket pc bookmarks and links will be replaces with OQO and a like web site links.
