          The disclosed invention pertains to a method and                            
          apparatus for presenting dynamic content to a user of a client              
          device.  More particularly, a dynamic executable module is                  
          installed on the client device.  The module is configured to                
          retrieve dynamic content and to present the content to the user             
          at a time selected in accordance with a predetermined condition.            
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
               1.     A method for presenting dynamic content to a

               steps of:                                                              
                    installing a dynamic executable module on a client                
               device, wherein the dynamic executable module is                       
               configured to retrieve dynamic content to be presented                 
               to a user and control presentation of the dynamic                      
               content; and                                                           
                    presenting the dynamic content at a time selected                 
               in accordance with a predetermined condition.
