TechWhirlers,
Lisa Higgins commented in a post on another subject:

<looking quaint in a couple of years.
That struck me as interesting, because what I write
(software user and reference manuals) has a half-life
of about six months. So, I'm curious. What's the projected
life span of the work you produce?
