To clarify and annotate a bit ...

I've been pretty much exclusively in software. Most companies were 
software-only, but a couple were hardware/software (DEC, Wang, HP) and I 
worked in the software side of things. Most were smaller companies. I 
like small companies best because I feel I can have more influence over 
what goes on even though there is a higher chance that the company may 
not be viable for long. Also, 20 of the 31+ years are as documentation 
manager, some of that time as the sole writer though I almost always 
hired people and built teams.

Most interesting, I managed to only go without a job for three weeks in 
the entire 31+ years - and that was when I moved back to the US after a 
stint overseas.

My 2¢,

John
