Random Fortune

No Screenshot for this app

[Download]

This is merely a program which shows a random fortune of the ones installed in /boot/beos/etc/fortunes. I wrote it when I was first learning programming in Perl. Perhaps someday I'll write a real program which does the same job much better. For now, though it works rather nicely for its task.

  • Skinnable toolbar
  • Works in a similar way to Photoshop
