April Fool's?

It has to be. Who would send out a serious press release today? But I couldn't find any clues in the press release. If it's not real, it's masterful in its subtlety. The only better buyer would be Sega.

I recieved the announcement from my Rackable sales rep

so unless they fooled their own people (and didn't send out a correction afterwords), this isn't a joke.
