Re: Pages Per Day

No, no, I'm sure that they have figured out that it's feasible, because 
little is required other than "wordsmithing" the existing e-mail and 
marketing memos. Most of the stuff is in good shape already, but some of 
it is in the wrong font. (There certainly won't be any proprietary 
material to be removed, lapses in logic, or hopeless non-sequiturs.) 
Tech writers used to be called secretaries, right?
