FullerData.com - Fortune Cookie

It started life as a little Atari ST C++ command line fortune cookie application in 1993 for floppy disk boot up - a poor mans version of the Unix fortune. It was then used for playing around with C#/.NET web services in 2001 and sat for years until it eventually died as the web site faded away. Now it re-merges as an .NET Core REST solution, hosted on Azure, again existing only to play around with some newer tech. This service is also now hooked up to a little Twitter bot (@FortuneDogsay) with an Azure LogicApp creating a new image daily (using SkiaSharp).

There were in this country two very large monopolies. The larger of the two had the following record: the Vietnam War, Watergate, double- digit inflation, fuel and energy shortages, bankrupt airlines, and the 8-cent postcard. The second was responsible for such things as the transistor, the solar cell, lasers, synthetic crystals, high fidelity stereo recording, sound motion pictures, radio astronomy, negative feedback, magnetic tape, magnetic "bubbles", electronic switching systems, microwave radio and TV relay systems, information theory, the first electrical digital computer, and the first communications satellite. Guess which one got to tell the other how to run the telephone business?
