Or people who just like to listen to the Bible read rather than read it on a
screen.  At certain times, I certainly fall into this category.

I've been really quiet on this list as I'm just finishing my final year of
school.  However, I will be done soon.  Leave this as a plug-in option, I think it
would be a great idea.  Such a good idea that if nobody beats me to it I will do
it myself once I've got these courses out of the way.

It _should_ be able to be implemented as both a GUI and command line option
relatively easily.

That said, I haven't submitted any code for this particular idea.  Until I do,
ignore me... <grin>

Thanks for the 5 minute diversion from electromagnetic waves,
