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.
I have been fortunate enough in my career to use just about every
piece of word processing, desktop publishing, and drawing and painting
software tool ever devised.
At my present job we have "consolidated" our department to the use of
Frame 5. A good choice.
But, I had to give up my PageMaker, Ventura, WordImPerfect, Microsoft
Word, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Streamline, etc.
So, I have a hammer, a good hammer, but no screwdriver, pliers,
chisel, T-square, plumb, sandpaper, wrench, etc.
