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.
It pains me to have to point out to *technical* writers that the term
"CD-ROM" is an acronym for Compact Disk-Read-Only-Memory. It follows
that a CD-ROM drive is the engine that makes the disk turn around and
operates the read head.
And a WORM drive is the engine that operates the medium that is Write
Once Read Many.
Sheesh!
