First sentence: When Dan left his job as a reporter on a daily newspaper to become a technical writer at a dot-com start-up in October 1999, he was energized by his prospect: he loved technology and looked forward to working in that fast-growing business sector; daily newspaper, he predicted, would soon be replaced by people getting their morning news on the Internet.
