What sources both on and off line are *musts*
for budding Tech. Writers?
o software
>>> I find that a word processing program comes in handy now and then.
o books
>>> the dictionary pages where affect and effect are defined
o online resources
>>> http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/
>>> Side view of a submarine? Clouds forming on the horizon? If I had a
mailer that used a non-proportionate font (rare these days), this
would almost look like Kilroy.
