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.
Why is it that the title of Problem Solver never caught on and commanded decent pay. Oh yeah. Just like writing, everyone can solve problems.
To borrow a word from one of Bill Cosby's routines in the 60s, "RIGHT!"

The instrument I was using for routine screening of film production stock broke down (it was the only job they'd trust to a woman, since they already had a secretary). The repair company couldn't send a service tech until the end of the week, so I dug up the manual. The manual included a basic troubleshooting guide. Heh, heh. Had much more interesting work for the rest of the summer.
