The fortune cookie program can be made by copying the code for 'Mood Computer' on page 64 and 65. So it could be something like: import random print "Welcome to the Fortune cookie program" fortune = random.randrange(3) if fortune == 0: print "some fortune1" elif fortune == 1: print "some fortune2" elif fortune == 2: print "some fortune3" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
