Yay for Acrobat

Maybe I'm behind the times but I had no idea that Adobe Acrobat will read files out loud for you. I was reading "Free Culture" tonight and I wanted to highlight certain passages so I was just looking around the program's toolbar to see if there was any way for me to do that. When I was looking under the "View" tab, I came across an option for "Read Out Loud". So, of course, I had it read the page I was on. It came out in a computerized voice but it still sounded pretty good, I didn't have any trouble understanding it.

If this is old news for you, then man, you've been holding out on me. I had no idea that the program even had that option, I think it's really cool, and its making my reading a lot more fun now that I have my computerized friend reading along with me.
