About My Unix Fortune

My Unix Fortune is a simple app that displays a random or searchable message from a database of 17,446 unique quotations that first appeared in early versions of Unix. Fortunes are bundled with a collection of themed files, containing sayings like those found on fortune cookies (hence the name), quotations from famous people, jokes, or poetry. One of my favorite is the definition of gyroscope. Features of this app include: - Increasing the text size for easier reading - Searching fortunes by keywords of phrases - Browsing all fortunes using previous and next buttons - Sending via message, email, or copying for posting on other apps - Changing the display presentation to simulate early monitor screens. - Selecting the Random Fortune option to see a new fortune with each app start I hope you enjoy this app and sharing your favorite fortunes!
