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 recently had to complete a 200 page manual on a very tight schedule.
Having worked with various tools (MacOS, Windows and their respective
applications) I can tell you that if I had been using Word for Windows
rather than Nisus Writer on my PowerMac I would _not_ have finished the job
on time. Tools _do_ matter, as any craftsman will tell you.
