I beleive it's an initiative sponsored by the DTi so that the country might actually get some bloody work done.

Is this one of those days when they send out powerful Internet-cleaning programs to delete all the unnecessary data that got lost and is clogging it up and slowing it down, and if you log on then your hard drive gets wiped by it?

Thumbs down

What on earth is the 'don't go on the internet' supposed to achieve? Sounds rather stupid to me!

Cool

bartman, it was from an email I got from a mate dated April 1, 1996. "Warning, do not log on on April 1 because..." etc

I found it really funny and forwarded it to our ISP as I thought they would appreciate it too.

My mate then forwarded me an email the next day, where the ISP had written directly back to him, quite alarmed, "Dear sir, is this true? "
