Re: Variety in Tech Writing (was: Display, Displays, or Appears)

If you mean documents with "variety" in their descriptions,
offhand I can't recall seeing any.  If you mean documents
that give me the impressions you described, I don't think
they're online, but the printed manuals that IBM provided
for its OS/2 operating systems would be the first ones that
come to my mind.
