Subject:FW: Quick reference cards/job aids From:Mc Jdub <wigginje -at- PSSCH -dot- PS -dot- GE -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 25 Jun 1997 15:54:07 -0400
Maybe so, but the request was not really for a "new way to communicate
information"; it was for ideas for specific *products* that would
function, I assume, to make a job "easier" (a "job aid" in the post).
To me, it seemed to be like someone telling you they've just been
assigned a term paper, and then asking you to come up with a topic for
them.
Sorry, tho, if I misinterpreted the intent.
