Technical "Books On Tape"?

Has anyone come across a company or companies that make it a point to deal in technical audiobooks? The few that we've been able to find so far have been rather unimpressive MCSE tutorials."

    You don't have to have a PC. Pipe Festival to a file, chunk the file, burn the files to audio CD. Hell, pop a tape in the old cassette deck, slap a patch cable to the sound card and let it go until the tape stops. Stop the Festival process, switch tapes.

    My only fear is how I'm going to handle hearing ....evalevalq.q>trd!Uj:%L>061:%C>cnsvo:.... when Festival starts breaking into the Perl sample code.
