Tom,

The timing was uncanny. I have been working on this one-page quick reference for about a day and then your post came out. All of your followers in our office had a good chuckle.

Yeah, the photo is my “winter” mug. I like to go seasonal. Diving in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter.

Thanks,
Ron

Great post, Ron. Streamlining information not only makes content more accessible to users, but greatly reduces the cost of localization.

Ease of use + lower costs = everybody wins!

Thanks for the post, Ron. Your situation sounds very similar to mine.

By the way, looking at your photo in the winter coat makes me cold. Reminds me of winter.
