    Is there an app that will read UNIX fortune data files?


    Is there an app that will display fortune cookies using data files from the UNIX fortune program? I am looking for something elegant and unobtrusive that can display cards from the Brian Eno/Peter Schmidt Oblique Strategies, for which a fortune data file exists. For those who are not familiar with them, the Oblique Strategies are a set of odd suggestions to help creative people when they are stuck.

    Alternatively, a native Windows implementation of the Oblique Strategies would be great, but I don't believe one exists, except for a rather ugly and dated version for Windows 95. Perhaps it should be no surprise that Mac users are better served in this regard.

    :)

    Which Unix Do You Use?

    An embedded Linux on my NAS *Smile Is there an app that will read UNIX fortune data files? :)

    Also, since this is about Unix based OSes, why is everyone listing their Windows version? Besides, how is Unix related to a mac vs PC discussion?
