Qur'an widget

Amazing Qur'an Widget displays the complete Holy Qur'an on your screen. Windows only (but the new new Macs run Windows...). Here.

D'oh! I have one of the older powerbooks & can't flip to the windows.

I know. I know. It's maddening. I also recently came across a great site, Roland Art Films, that has interviews of writers, $1.99 pay per view -- but it only works on Internet Explorer, which hasn't been downloadable for Macs since 2006. As TAR ART RAT would say, grrr. I actually have Explorer on an old iBook that still only runs OS 9, but that version of Explorer, it turns out, is too antique for Roland Art Films (who are probably in the pay of Bill Gates).

So, what can I say, I feel like Moses looking down on Canaan, a promised land he cannot enter -- I myself cannot benefit from the Qur'an widget, 50% of readers of this blog can't install the widget, but there are Windows users among us, and there may be Arabophiles among the Windows users...
