Hi,
I bought the dilbert 2.0 set - it's great to have and the CD has room to
add new strips as they are released, but how do you download the new
strips to add?

the official site is a PITA to use with the layered scripting, and
weird-as naming convention on the strips. Has someone got an easier way
to save the strips, or another collection?

thanks,
Des

Go to the dilbert.com/fast page for the strip you're looking for by
date. For example, for the 2010-02-18 strip, go to
http://www.dilbert.com/fast/2010-02-08/. Right click on the strip and
select "save image as" or your browser's equivalent.

I'm sure the process can be easily scripted if you want a less manual
solution. But doing so would clearly be a violation of the site's
terms of use.
