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.
People periodically ask "Should I buy such-and-such software and
learn it, to put it on my resume". Canvas 6 offers vector draw / bitmap
paint (Photoshop-like) and PageMaker clone functions at a remark-
able price (competitive upgrade for $199), and will import and export
a wide variety of popular file formats. It also has a spellchecker!
There are PC and Mac versions.
(I'm a satisfied user of Canvas 3.5 & Canvas 5, and plan to upgrade).
