That depends on the target audience, I guess. A manual which involves
explanations of product features shouldn't be dry. The explanations =
should,
imho, inspire a little interest, a little enthusiasm in the reader to =
get in
and try out new features.

Excellent responses!
However, do we cater for emotions in Tech Writing? I am of the beleif =
that
it is the dryest most unemotional form of writing possible, with (in an
ideal environment) VERY strict grammer and style rules, akin to the
structures and strictures of formal programming...
