Re: Seeking something like "The Elements of Technical Illustratio n"
My rocks are older than your rocks. So there.
The rocks in my hear just got older three days ago...
I did my first writing with blue pencils and whiteboards.
I wrote my first technical manual on an early IBM word processor. Our printer could print out one page at a time -- a sheet feeder was way too expensive (like 6 months wages, as I remember).
I also earned $4.50 an hour in a factory at a time that one could buy a house for $15,000. My first house cost $17,000 and had a bathroom and two bedrooms.
