If only 1% of the companies who did have a file drawer of vendor
manuals said to themselves in the past, "If I ever have a chance to
do it over agin, I gitting me one of them techy-writrs to do it
right", we'd be able to place a boat-load of writers.
This doesn't include the companies that actually do it right and now
need more writers to get it done quickly.
