Anything but that ...

Crazy Apple Rumors is gone. As part of the general corruption of all things fun, it has apparently been replaced with the "Painfully Serious Dell Rumors Site". Now the rumours today (about the color of Michael Dell's tie, interns and the lack of a vice president on the Dell board) are OK but the article about Dell producing the first 17" laptop is a hoot. In the article it builds on the claim that Dell was the first to introduce 802.11 based laptops (12 months after Apple) and continues with the claim that they will produce the first 17" model (12 months after Apple) and the first 802.11g (12 months after Apple). It missed suggesting the removal of the floppy but maybe it is too late to copy Apple and still look like an achievement.

And before you all write to me, I know when the article was posted :wink
It might not be April Fools Day here any more but the US is always about a day behind Australia (sort of like Dell being behind Apple but the gap is a bit smaller).
