ROTFLMAO!!!!!
I spent most of 2003 & 2004 doing user docs, source code documentation,
and marcom (including ad copy, website, and brochures) for a company
with corporate offices in Dallas and R&D in a suburb of San Diego CA.
It's a very small start-up, now growing. But for most of the time I
worked there, the devs did tech support and the QA guys did hardware
and customer site visits. I think they have more than 30 employees now.
Sometimes even the most far-fetched makes sense, I guess.
But jeesh! ;-)
