does mbse have the ability to display certain files based on the date?
eg:
01-01.ans happy new year
02-14.ans valentines day
03-17.ans st. patricks day
07-04.ans 4th of july
12-**.ans holiday screen for each day of december
i've thought about doing something to allow for the selection of a random
screen from a set...
eg:
01-01xxx.ans where xxx is -00 thru -99 or maybe just 000-999 for 1000
choices...
coming up with that many christmas screens would be daunting :)
