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 might phrase it like this:
"A computer, scanner, and printer can be connected in a daisy chain..."
I'm not sure exactly why, but "daisy chaining" just sounds really funky to my
ear -- maybe it's all those vowels rattling around...
Just my 2-cents.
