TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. 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.
Roy Johnson, in his review of Nicholas Negroponte's book, said:
>In fact the book is produced on paper of such poor
>quality that you can read the print on both sides at once. [It's not
>clear if this is a high-tech device or an ironic comment from the
>publishers.]
And then Jim Grey commented:
>This is probably a function of currently outrageously high paper prices.
>The cost of paper has shot up since last fall, slicing publishers' margins,
>if you'll pardon me, paper-thin.
About which I explain:
Sure, paper prices have risen, as have the prices of wood products in
general, including wood-frame houses. But look on the bright side. Many
more spotted owls now have trees to live in. And many fewer loggers are
faced with the prospect of engaging in their dangerous profession; they
can now collect miniscule unemployment checks instead.
Live long & prosper,
