For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
But Dick, I can hardly wait to see Dilbert in the next couple

would've pulled the plug on the list.
Happy birthday to the list! Let's try to have fun and be sociable.
