Subject:re-UI, TW versus engineers From:Shlomo Ramon <ramsol -at- NETVISION -dot- NET -dot- IL> Date:Sat, 15 Mar 1997 13:06:23 PST
Many thanks to all who promptly satisfied my ignorance of the acronyms UI -
these things are a real plague to the uninitiated
BTW, being a "defrocked" EE myself (HW for hardware, that`is why the
ignorance of UI), and having turned late in life to writing, I cannot agree
more about the relative inability for clear, concise etc, writing shared by
many of my ex-colleagues. sometimes it takes one make sense of the
mumbo-jumbo specs and even speech. I think though that good TWs are
generally properly compensated, at least in this country.
