+\section{Introduction}
+The following two jobs are rolled into one with the modern WYSIWYG\footnote{What You See
+Is What You Get} word processor.
+You type your text, and as you go the text is given a concrete typographical
+representation on the screen. Supposedly it corresponds closely to what you will
+see when you send the same document to a printer, although for various reasons it
+does not always do so. In effect, the text is continuously typeset as you key it
+in. At first sight this may seem to be a great convenience; on closer inspection
+it is a curse. There are three aspects to this.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+        \item The author is distracted from the proper business of composing text,
+        in favor of making typographical choices in relation to which she may have
+        no expertise. ``Fiddling with fonts and margins'' when she should be
+        focusing on content.
+
+        \item The typesetting algorithm employed by WYSIWYG word processor sacrifices
+        quality to the speed required for the setting and resetting of the user's
+        input in real time. The final product is greatly inferior to that of a
+        real typesetting program.
+
+        \item The user of a word processor is under a strong temptation to lose
+        sight of the logical structuration of the text and to conflate this with
+        superficial typographical elements.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\section{Rationale}
+Writing business and technical documents requires the authors full attention to
+be put on content rather than the above stated issues. \LaTeX\ offers an easy
+way out of this trap. However, it is criticized for being to cryptic for day to
+day work by computer illiterates. But do we really want the computer illiterates
+to dictate the how we write our technical documents?
+
+The obvious answer is an emphatic \emph{``No!''}. Still, any computer litterate
+person needs the speed at which todays word processors operate without loosing
+out to the poor quality those processors performs. To this end the Technics Package
+was constructed. It provides an advanced typesetting of your technical documents
+without your being aware of it.
+
+\section{Usage}
+This sample document serves as a template for all you wanting to use the
+Technics package.
+
+At the very end of this document, i.e., after the \verb+\end{document}+ tag, there
+are examples of how to construct professional tables, include graphics as well as
+adding a professionally typeset bibliography to your documents.
+
+

+can be sent to the author at the below address:
