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.
Agreed. I finally gave up wrangling about it and bought my own copy of
SnagIT. If the employer won't or can't buy it, I use my own copy. So far, no
one has objected to that. Of course, some places won't allow you to load any
software, but that hasn't been a problem for me with my own receipt and
license. :-)
