I had different problems: it works fairly well in FF3, but in IE7 I
get fine audio and no text at all.  "Pause" works in both (although
only affecting sound in IE because there is no text) but "Stop" does
nothing.  I found the sound was very good, but the keystrokes were
substantially delayed from the audio (you can hear him hitting keys,
it sounds like he uses an IBM Model M :-) and quite jumpy.  So his
description doesn't fit with what's going on on screen.

It's an interesting idea, but doesn't seem to be quite "there" yet.
I'm also not sure how much it would get used in a world as graphically
driven as ours when it locks you into using only stuff that runs
inside a modified rxvt?

Hmm - who wants to do the audio tutorials for configuring Apache?  How
about PostgreSQL?
