As you may have surmised from the nature of many of my post, I'm first and foremost a historian. Much of my technical writing consists of compiling the historical background of a given technology, product or service, with a view to providing the client with a detailed view of how and, where known, why they've arrived at their current situation at given point in time, along with the deciding factors at each juncture along the way. In order to understand where you are and where you might be going, you have to understand where you (and your partners and competitors) have been. By the way, after a 5-year absence resulting from various health and economic issues, I just signed a 1-year contract to work at Intel again. I'll be writing the onscreen help for the graphical user interface of their new Viiv hardware products. This means that I'll have less time for online activities like this until I get settled into the new routine but, typically, once I'm back in the groove, the energy I get from challenging intellectual stimulation will spill over into whatever free time I have, resulting in greater creativity and productivity in my recreational activities as well. Funny how that works... -Z- -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II list@gundam.com Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
