Wow, I can’t believe I can still access the web?!?!   It’s already April 1st in Australia (right now :  Melbourne *Wed 4:50 AM)    and the entire internet has not collapsed!

I’m trying my best to act shocked but…   I’m not a trained actor.   Maybe a few hours into April 1st is too early to call it but..  frankly..   I stand by my first post on this..   much ado about NOTHING!
