Ahh, bite my tongue. Marketing people and TW don't mix. Friends don't let
friends become marketing. Dilbert had a good jab at marketing a couple of
months ago ... the marketing guru had a magazine . . . . and the war room
was called to retrieve it. Tranquilizer 'phoot' to the neck of the
marketing guru.
Not that all marketing experts are bad, but sometimes writing
fiction-manuals on non-existant products are a bit hard.
However, my experience with engineers have been realistic and straightforth.
This of course my own views, not those of the fine company . . . . I work for.
