Can anyone recommend a good Daily Quotes plugin for the Today Screen? Particularly one that:
* Works with the square dimensions of the HP iPAQ 6500 series screens.
* Can be customized.
I really just want it to cycle through about ten custom quotes.
Everything I've seen out there is quite old and clunky. The DSRTech freeware app worked well, but displays nothing if the list is customized.

*Bump*
I just did a search, and had no better results than you.
I purchased ScaryBear Software's "QuotesToday" years ago and that was perfect, but it doesn't work on my WM5 device, and seems to have been abandoned. The other offerings have similar flaws, not displaying anything, showing fuzzy non-VGA text on a white background, etc.
Philosophical quotes aren't exactly mission-critical information to see on the Today screen, but they did serve as a nice reminder of my larger purposes while I was in the middle of my projects, and I got a lot of value out of that.
Anyone interested in creating an up-to-date app?

As an update, shortly after posting the message above I got an e-mail from Dave at ScaryBear, who said he'd look into updating QuickQuotes.
It would be nice if a few of us could buy the new version and make the development worth his while.
