Quotator

Here we have a simple scripted component that rotates a series of quotes, or blocks of 'text'. It can be used for quotes, customer testimonials, or anything that would require a brief display of text for. We're calling it the Quotator because it has a better ring to the name than 'Testimonialator'.
