Absolutely. As it stands today, the public attitude is that all you =
have to do is by a multimedia system from K-Mart and you can publish a =
newspaper, manuals, and all the marketing materials you need. And guess =
what, you don't even have to go to college.

I've done it once, now twice.
I've used my personal correspondense with David to make a public point. =
(See
Below.)
Great chatting with you David.
In the final analysis, I think we'll learn we've all BEEN HAD. This is =
why I
fight so hard. Don't let the money myth contol your wisdom. Illustration =
is
not a "throw away" trade - any more than professional writing is. =
Support
your local illustrators. Demand the quality that only professional =
technical
illustrations bring to good technical documentation. Unite with us, =
don't
work against us. Recognize us, don't reduce our contribution to the
technical communication trade to the "anybody can do it" status. Thanks.
