Folks,
There are many times when I cringe at the thought
of looking through some poorly
written manual. Time is valuable and many
customers would rather forgo the TOC
and welcome search capabilities and speed of a
browser or other online documentation.
How about you?
The medium is not the issue here...it is the
content! Was it well-
written and organized or not?
This is not a job security issue it is one of
practicality.
The need for both is apparent and our aim had
better be to please.....
regardless of the medium!
