I noticed this piece on
http://www.vancouversun.com/newsite/news/1752501.html and am curious
whether anyone on the list has the lowdown on the techwriter's side of
the story.

Jim Beatty, Sun Legislature Bureau Vancouver Sun
VICTORIA -- The B.C.
government blew $400,000 on a
photo radar manual that is so
elementary it tells users an
image of the sky indicates the
camera is pointed too high, the
Opposition Liberals said
Monday.

"It's a rip-off," Liberal critic Gary
Farrell-Collins said of the
22-page guide. "You would think
that the instruction manual on
how to use the camera would
have been included."

Cheers, Dave Chisma
