Yes, that's a great idea. I could also add an option to wait after
each line of text.

I've tried to make the time between letters somewhat random, but I
really need to tweak it some more. Ruby's random number generation
facilities are rather primitive -- I'm used to R where it's easy to
generate a random number from any distribution you can think of.
The other thing I'd really like is a keyboard logging script so I
could empirically work out the gaps between letters and words and
sentences to make it even more realistic.
