I keep thinking that the end of paper documentation as we know is near, but
nonetheless I continue to get more and more of this type of work. As a
freelancer, I must remain competitive and have moved into on-line help and
dabbled with multimedia, as I really do believe these will be the next wave
of documentation, but I think (to paraphrase Mark Twain) the rumors of paper
documentation's death have been greatly exagerated.
