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.
That article, The Soul Encoded, talks about software agents. They're
different from Wizards. Sofware agants "learn" about you as you use the
software. Wizards really don't.

Subject: Critique of Wizards
There's a very well-written critique of the ubiquity of Wizards in, of
all places, last month's issue of Harper's Magazine. Great read...
