:: A few years ago, I received a tape magazine with the funniest April 
Fool's
:: joke.  Freedom Scientific was coming out with a new notetaker called "The
:: Moonlite."  It would have all the features of the BrailleLite but the
: output
:: would be in moon type.  The magazine went on to say people thought FS had
:: the Moonlites in stock and called them up to get more information.  After
: a

: they
:: knew the Moonlite was an April Fool's joke.
