If you can tell me how to put XML example code into an audio form I might start to believe you about them selling as anything more than a novelty.

The biggest problem is that when dealing with computers you are extremely rarely dealing with the English language and the various code snippets, configuration files, etc. are only really of benefit when available visually as reference when reading (or hearing) the other parts of the text.

But hey, if you want to record a podcast that has code snippets/configuration examples in it and prove me wrong feel free to go for it.

P.S. I've you want some career advice, work on the attention span. I've seen a number of people fired for looking incompetent because they kept disrupting co-workers with questions which could have been answered by reading the manual and they got bored of the job they have to do and churn out some really s**t code whilst messing around with other things.. most employers really don't like it.

Dude, I totally think technical books on audio would sell!  Most NERDS (like
myself) have the attention span of a moth and are so busy chasing shiny
things they can never get to the end of a book!  I would slam an aBook in my
iPod for the commute.  For a great example of what I mean by attention span
disorder, check this <http://www.coudal.com/regrets.php> out.

I have a very soothing XML voice.

I'm like the Isaac Hayes (but alive-ier) of structured text.
