Yeah.. but you could have a shell script that cron runs that uses the
"at" command.
Or, we could all realise this, like programming and *nix, has many ways
to do the same thing.

No, I don't have K3b installed, nor run KDE (I am excited about KDE4

Maybe you could upload that file? (or convert it to an mp3 first and
email it)...
I looked a bit on google but didn't find it easily.
