I haven't read the whole thing as I just received it this morning,
but a quick glance found this one sentence I take exception with:

Under the "Got Friends?" paragraph, where it is talking about
viewing real-time locations of multiple vehicles, it says, "This
makes GpsDrive a great adjunct to a car rally or search-and-rescue
mission."  I think I might be able to find a better alternative for
that last use.  Somewhere.

Written by Charles Curley (www.charlescurley.com) who teaches Linux
at two Wyoming colleges.  Don't we have an Xastir expert who lives
near there that can set this guy straight?  hi hi Just kidding.
Really!

It looks like nice software, and it interfaces to Festival.  Maybe
we can learn a few things from it.  I've tried it before but not for
several years.  It wasn't much to look at back then.  It has
progressed.
