Fortune?
Authored by: russh on May 24, '02 09:27:08AM

You are correct that Fortune is not part of Mac OS X. You can use Fink to install it, or you can get a compiled version of Fortune from VersionTracker. Fortune is a repository of quotes that has been around for years. Some quotes are profound, some goofy, some risque. Many people in the *nix world use it for email sigs or to provide an amusing message as a user logs in to the system.

The Handey quotes are something the poster put together himself -- re-read the post, you'll see that he makes that clear.

I'm looking forward to trying out this tip over the weekend.
