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.
In the 3/31/98 issue of the Buffalo News, they reprinted an
article from the Chicago Tribune quoting a number of consultants, software
engineers, and self-proclaimed "propeller-heads" about how computers &
software are "as user-friendly as Attila the Hun." While the points were
basic, perhaps those of you who are looking for arguments for better
interfaces/earlier involvement could find some nifty quotes and possibly
resources...
