Hi all!! :) Just done my weekly "get Cygwin up to date" routine, in which I've gotten: cygwin-1.3.20-1 patch 2.5.8-3. vim-6.1.300-1 and w32api-2.2-1 and now every time I do a "fortune" I get: javier> fortune fortune:/usr/share/fortune/fortunes not a fortune file or directory
I recently did a similar update. I'm not on a strictly periodic schedule, but rather monitor the Cygwin lists for [ANNOUNCEMENT]s. Anyway, I don't routinely use fortune, so I thought I'd give it a try. Look what came out:
% fortune
Millions of sensible people are too high-minded to concede that
politics is almost always the choice of the lesser evil. "Tweedledum
and Tweedledee," they say, "I will not vote." Having abstained, they
are presented with a President who appoints the people who are going to
rummage around in their lives for the next four years. Consider all
the people who sat home in a stew in 1968 rather than vote for Hubert
Humphrey. They showed Humphrey. Those people who taught Hubert
Humphrey a lesson will still be enjoying the Nixon Supreme Court when
Tricia and Julie begin to find silver threads among the gold and the
black.

This appears to pre-date Nov. 2000 by at least a couple of years. Spooky!
