How about using "industry-standard" instead of "mainstream"?
Karen's original sentence:
"...by using mainstream, State of the Art products, we are able to recruit
technical support personnel quickly should the business need arise."
How about:
"...by using State-of-the-Art products that conform to industry standards
[for ...], we are able to recruit
technical support personnel quickly should the business need arise."
Or something like that. I've got my head in graphics formats and HTML right
now (with boardware docs and technical notes coming up on the to-do list),
so my spin cycle is a little slow. Any other techmarcomm folks out there?
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose
from.
