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.
John Renish makes some good points about setting aside funds to finance future
updgrades. I believe Geoff Hart lives in Canada (somewhere warmer than
Saskatchewan, no doubt). Under Canadian tax laws, I don't think Geoff can deduct
the income earned on these funds as a business expense.
Sounds as if there's a trade-off here. Buy now (at current prices) and claim the
tax deduction now, or pay the taxes now and buy later (at potentially lower
prices).
