The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Then try this one from the Prentice Hall Illustrated Dictionary of Computers,
1992; entry by Jonar C. Nader:
"It has been said that if cars had developed at the same pace that computers
have, today a Ferrari would cost $5.50, drive five million kilometers on
one litre of petrol, and park comfortably on the head of a pin. And, ...
a 500-page instruction manual would be required to explain to its owner
how to open the door."
