fine technical writing
So my current employer bought a HP Pavilion laptop for the shop floor today, mostly for CNC/DNC communications and part program management. This is a photo of step six in the quick start poster, after the mostly obvious: insert battery, plug in power supply, turn device on etc. The first two of the seven items in the photo sound like fun, as does the fourth. The third is arguable (I don’t enjoy setting up networks, but I know some who might), but the last two? “Creating recovery disks” and “Protecting the computer from viruses”. I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing, can you?
Who comes up with this stuff? The people who bring you reality TV? Here’s an idea, leave out step six – it is a “quick start” guide after all.
