April 4 is the feast day of Saint Isidore of Seville, the patron saint of computers in general and of the Internet in particular. He was made the patron of the Internet not only because he wrote an encyclopedia in which he anticipated hypertext links (and in which much of the information was utter nonsense and completely false, just like on the Internet), but also because his feast day is April 4 — 4.04, the “favorite” response code of Internet surfers.

In light of this information, it is worth recalling that Microsoft Corporation was founded on April 4.
