As far as I know, I'm the only one audiobooking so far, though I'm sure the trend will take off and fly as people get used to the idea. Audiobooks are just so much nicer than raw MP3s. Even discounting the cover art, they get filed with audiobooks in iTunes, not with music, so they don't show up when you play/shuffle your songs, and they automatically bookmark for you, so if you stop listening, they start up again where you left off. They also tend to be smaller files overall. I tried to zip one once, and it only shaved off 3 MB!
We seem to have animals in common. I have a monster chihuahua and two cats. And two turtles who live in the yard: Ricky and Fred. Unfortunately, we lost Lucy and Ethel over the years.
