Paul,
I am still on dial-up in this rural location.
I was delighted to see a transcript, how was the transcript created?
Thanks - Paul

Hi Paul. The transcript was created by castingwords.com. I sent them the mp3, and they sent back a transcript 24 hours later. I then added the hyperlinks myself, and cleaned up one or two small transcription errors.
