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 havent' been a tech writer for long, and I suppose, depending on the product, this may not apply in many cases, but I always assumed our manuals were smaller than standard 8.5X11 so that they would fit inside the box that the software and manual are shipped in.

My opinions don't necessarily agree with those of the company. My opinions don't even necessarily agree with my other opinions.
O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves,
Lend me a little tobacco-shop,
or install me in any profession
Save this damn'd profession of writing,
where one needs one's brains all the time.
(Ezra Pound)
