Submitted by ironfist. 2006-04-01,
Göteborg/San Antonio -- Pegasos.org and Genesi Inc proudly presents a joint venture concerning the EFIKA 2.0. Bill Buck, CEO of Genesi has told you already this card will include an onboard XGI graphics chip, but the biggest news was kept a secret -- until now. In a tiny 100x100 mm PCB area two Freescale MPC5200B SOC-processors running each at 400 MHz are fitted. Together with an onboard Promise FastTrak TX2300 dual SATA-controller, dual LAN and onboard AC'97 audio this computer platform will revolutionize the entire computer market. "We really think this is exactly what the PowerPC geeks wants to play with", says Mr Bill Buck, CEO of Genesi Inc."

Is this another April fools joke/hoax/scam?

I thought Genesi was the joke.
