This is just a few people trying to be funny. I mean, even the nuttiest dot-commers wouldn't seriously allow this idea to get past the napkin-scribble stage, right?
Hey when you are Microsoft and have monopolised almost every other aspect and method of personal computing don't rule the toilet out of the equation.
I don't even like using porta-shitters for their intended purpose. Who is going to have the nose, stomach and desparity to use one for surfing the Internet? I hope no we see no visitors from the host crapterm3.msn.co.uk in the future!

Reading in the loo, or the bog, is a traditional English pastime
I see a major problem with these two items combined when you have several hundred people waiting in line with their legs crossed and you wanna surf the net. I hope they stake them down so the dingbat surfing at 'rush-hour' doesn't drown in a pool of, well, I'll leave that alone.
This is funny!!!
Microsoft says this was a joke. The announcement by the UK Microsoft department was not authorized. They are now trying to find out who's responsible.

I thought so all along - don't tell me anyone here actually took it seriously...?

Microsoft's claim that it had created the iLoo - allowing users of portable toilets to surf the internet - was a belated April fool hoax, writes Jane Perrone
Tuesday May 13, 2003
It sounded like every geeky Glastonbury-goer's ultimate online experience. But hopes of surfing the web from the comfort of a portable toilet have been dashed after Microsoft claimed that its fanfares about the iLoo were an April fool's hoax.
The "joke", though, was created 30 days late. MSN UK issued a press release on April 30 announcing the creation of the so-called iLoo, which it described as "a unique experience for surfers looking for an alternative to the bog-standard festival loo experience". The iLoo would feature at "a majority of the summer season festivals", MSN said.
The release also quoted MSN marketing manager Tracy Blacher as saying: "It's exciting to think that the smallest room can now be the gateway to the massive virtual world."
However, Microsoft spokeswoman Bridgitt Arnold told the Associated Press yesterday: "This iLoo release came out of the UK office and was not a Microsoft sanctioned communication and we apologise for any confusion or offence it may have caused."
The fake release was covered by the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, Internet Magazine and Reuters. Guardian Unlimited was also taken in.
MSN UK has now removed the press release from its site, although it remains on the web as a cached version saved by the search engine Google.
Meanwhile a rather sheepish Microsoft spokeswoman today told Guardian Unlimited that she was waiting for a statement on the matter from MSN UK and could not comment or answer any questions in the meantime. Tech news site CNet called the iLoo "an elaborate ruse", while the Associated Press was keen to stress that it had checked out the story with the usual sources: it had confirmation of the veracity of the iLoo project from two of Microsoft's PR firms, Waggener Edstrom and the Red Consultancy.
