Not every writer can have the luxury of working remotely.
I would expect, for example, a writer who is generating the
procedures for installing and maintaining physical systems
to be available onsite to verify and test them. Not everyone
who writes is working with something that can be transferred
by FTP and loaded on a home PC.

However, I too am looking forward to the transporter...

Hi Gene,

I totally agree. If the work gets done and meetings get attended (as I have done remotely several times), etc., then does it matter if the writer is sitting at the keyboard in the office, or on the deck overlooking the lake, or working late at night instead of during the middle of the day? The problem is not the writer, or the work, it's the other members of the corporation who have chosen jobs that do not allow them the same working arrangement.
