RE: Stereotypes (WAS: what to look for in a Tech Editor)

Do you have to take 27 8X10 color photographs with circles and arrows to 
program these neat machines?

"You know, those things at <name of big builders' warehouse> that go "zip" 
when they move and "bop" when they stop, and "whirr" when they stand still, 
and get you your eighty-seven 14-foot-long two-by-fours and 200 toggle 
bolts and a screwdriver all by themselves without a driver.  Those 
things.  I write the instructions for the guy who sets it up so that when 
the clerk types in your order and clicks Send, the thing brings back 
eighty-seven 14-foot-long two-by-fours and 200 toggle bolts and a 
screwdriver, and not 13 light bulbs and a garden shovel."
