Why is it a different world? I think it would be fun to do. I have restored a 
few from the Essco Chain and they are cool. Slot machines, penny drops and 
motorcycles.

All of these products need documentation -- especially for museums and those 
who restore such devices, publishers and manufacturers.

My point is that computers and the net are a fraction of the total possible 
type of products a good writer can work on. Want a good market source? Try 
the Thomas Register of American Manufacturers. Tens of thousands of 
manufacturers who need technical writers and loads of opportunities out there.
