RE: Nuts.

Thanks for the article, Chris.  :-\

This is a nice quote:
"The writers left in the field today are feeling pushed out of their jobs.
Salaries have dropped considerably. Demand is significantly down. Young
writers are not entering the profession at the rate they used to, leaving an
aging technical communication community."

"Leaving an aging technical communication community."  How long will it be
before Techwr-l starts hawking the "official" Technical Writer's Walker,
with a laptop stand and a built-in bookshelf for reference books.
