If the site was made with Claris HomePage, it's more likely that April
1st came early about 19 years ago (yikes, has it been that long?)

It would be interesting if a Swedish speaker could tell us what that

computer scientists were far more accustomed with going straight to the
bare metal layer, or just above.
