There’s a Dilbert character named Tina the Tech Writer. Not only does she have the world’s most excellent first name, but she seems to share just about every one of my personal hang-ups. Read on for my favorite Tina strips, brought to you by the new Dilbert website (which is, by the way, excellent).
Hi, I’m looking hard for the strip where Tina has to write a technical manual for a software that doesn’t ecist yet. So she makes stuff up based on likely reality – The program will lock up and if you call us, we’ll blame Microsoft.
Do you happen to have that? Else I have to go back to my parents’ home and dig around for my Dilbert collections and scan it

If you go to Dilbert.com, you can search the strip archive by character. That’s how I found these strips.
What’s nice is that you can specify a few characters and then ask only for strips containing all of them, so if you can remember which characters were in the strip, it becomes easier to find. So, if the boss was in that strip, you could search for strips containing Tina and the boss and specify “all characters”.

Cool, thx!
I just got into the Tech writing line… Not in my job description!
