Yes... Scared the poopoo out of me! I thought someone forgot to pay the domain name bill. I saw it on March 31st; I completely forgot about April 1st.

Realistic and professional looking. Pretty clever guys!

Me too. Since I live at -6:00 of the GMT, the joke appeared on the day before April 1st.

I went to see the April Fools joke.

my first impulse was OMFG, immediately followed by "use the source Luke...err..Thomas"

it was very real-looking. i was fooled and kind of scared. it was like one of those random search engine things when you type in a wierd url. i thought ticalc forgot to pay the domain bill or was down or something. i didnt realize that it was april 1st =P

Yeah, really. Next year coordinate so you don't all do the same thing... Of course, we didn't; we did this a couple years ago. :)

Question: About how long does it take for an uploaded program to appear on this site?

It depends on the size of the file queue and how busy the file archivers are. A day to a month is a pretty good range, but it's more likely to be within a day to a week.

It's generally about a week. If you want faster, yell at my professors.

Thanks for that-I never went online on April 1-when I saw the survey question I was really upset at missing something.

I have to admit that it tricked me, but it was a mean joke. I was worried for a while.

I have to agree that it was cruel, it took me the better part of the day to figure out how to crack through to a news post. Even then, it was out of date.

actually it was, especially when you realize maybe only 45 to 50 people actually figured out the trick :D

besides, get a sense of humor :D
