Default Download A Dose-A-Day of Dilbert, Dude!

http://www.handango.com/brainstore/...productId=85355

If you're a fan of the Dilbert comic strip, I've got some great news. Here's a new way to make sure you get to read a fresh Dilbert strip every day: Dose-A-Day Dilbert, from DataViz.



"Dose-A-Day now brings your daily fix of fun to Palm and Pocket PC model handhelds. Whether you�re at your desk, in a meeting or on vacation, Dose-A-Day Dilbert offers a quick diversion guaranteed to brighten your day, every day. These electronic calendars are even smart enough to begin any time of the year so you�ll get a full 365 days of entertainment no matter if you start in January, June or December."

I can't think of a better way to start the day than with a Dilbert comic strip, can you? And, this software even lets you save your favorite strips for viewing over and over again. The only thing that's a little wierd is that you can read past days' strips but can't view future strips. Having to wait for the next day's dose may be difficult for die-hard Dilber fans.

There's also a Dose-A-Day version with daily golf tips.

Not to take away from DataViz, but another easy way to get your daily Dilbert is to load http://dwlt.net/tapestry/dilbert.rdf into your favorite news aggregator (http://www.mobilerss.com).

It WAS correct. It seems the Handango affiliate links are having issues at the moment...

A bit of feedback on this software.

It doesn't let you look ahead (fair enough I guess).

But it won't let you look backwards either.

Ah, but you can save a page as a "Favourite" and look at it again, only that doesn't work either!

All in all, a nice idea badly implemented...
