STC Usability Meeting - Tucson 2/21

[Nancy Burns <burns -at- NOAO -dot- EDU>]

If they can't figure it out, that's their fault - and your business future.
Join the Society for Technical Communication - Tucson Group on Wednesday,
February 21 - and learn how to test your products - before they test your
customers' patience.

When customer satisfaction is your top priority, usability techniques can
help make your products and documentation as intuitive and easy to use as
possible - no matter what your budget. This double demonstration will show
you how.
