Yup, and I wrote it myself (brag brag). =) Really, the idea is _old_ and
there is actually a dedicated tcp/ip port for getting random fortune cookies
(although noone uses it). My program just writes a header followed by a
random fortune cookie from a big text file (where they are separated with
lines containing only "%%") and then in my editor I have the F10 key assigned
to an arexx script (amiga rules!) that will run this program and stick its
output into the editor.
