Lisa's way is Too Much Work(tm) for me ... I have this small Desktop
Accessory called FlashWrite II (Mac Only), which I use to copy and paste
interesting tidbits from this list (and other places on the internet).
I'm not sure how many pages it maxes out at; right now, I have 247. Since
this DA was written back in the mid-80s, I'm afraid that once the pages go
over 255 (one of those magic numbers in the computer world), it will
explode ... or when I upgrade to OS 9.3 or something, it will simply stop
working (same diff).
Maybe I'd better start exporting this stuff.

"In closing, I might recommend that besides getting a Technical Writing
certificate, any bright hopeful might also enroll in a few mind reading
classes or have work experience with The Psychic Friends Hotline. With
qualifications like that, you¹ll go far."
