First, my apologies for being so absent lately.  I'm excited to see all 
the traffic.  Should be back in the swing of things in a week or so.

We have a full-featured web application available at:

http://crosswire.org/study/

As much work as we have put into this application (and honestly, I use 
it more than any other application for my personal study), as was 
commented in another post, I also think it would be nice to allow the 
users to download and take home a Bible or two when they have internet 
access, which Bibletime and Gnomesword allow with their builtin remote 
module installers.  Was there still any hope either of these might run?
