Ideally, talk to the users themselves but I've found that often isn't
possible (or at least easy <g>).

The other main route is through tech support. A couple of jobs ago the
company saw this as the best route and, as a new TWer, I spent the first
couple of weeks in tech support - I got to play with the
hardware/software, listen in to tech support calls and even answer some
of the simpler one :-)

TWing was located between tech support and development - ideal really.
