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.

If you are a current or potential _Technical Communication_ book reviewer,
please read this message carefully. I returned from the Toronto STC
conference to find that my computer system had crashed. The only critical
information not backed up was roughly two months of mail messages.
This mishap will hit some of you hard. In particular, if you've recently
sent e-mail to inquire about reviewing, I may not have had time before the
conference to enter your name and other details into the database. Also,
if youve e-mailed a review in April or May, there's a possibility that it,
too, has evaporated, even if the database says I received it.
Action requested: If paragraph 2 may apply to you, can you please contact
me at once? Just to be sure nothing more gets lost as I conclude the
restoration process, why don't you mail your information to two addresses:
amurphy -at- wln -dot- com
a-avonmu -at- microsoft -dot- com
(And a noncommercial thank-you goes out to Hewlett Packard for
manufacturing fine tape backup systems [fine especially if you use them
conscientiously] and Gateway 2000, who immediately replaced a motherboard
and a hard drive at no charge.)
Thanks to everyone,
Avon Murphy
