That's the impression I've gotten, also. Like Denise, I've done mostly
hardware (aerospace) writing, my current position is a mix of hardware and
software (and I -volunteered- to take on a big chunk of the software docs,
it wasn't even a job requirement.)
Denise works at White Sands Missile Range. If memory serves, STC President
Liz Babcocks works at the Navy's China Lake facility, and they don't make
computers there....
