: 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.
