It is a joke, admitted in our local paper already, and MacWorld has
indicated they have had to put their phone on a recorder to answer the
number of calls they have been getting.  Seems like a lot of people have
bitten hook, line, and sinker and are claiming major problems in
purchase order flow, etc.  

As my own editorial comment, I found the article not at all funny.
It was far too long without any humorous exaggerations and the April 1
delivery date was all that indicated it wasn't a true story.  Now Philip
Kahn's speach about his new operating system, the "BS2"..., now that was
funny.
