STORY: Calming Anticipation with SnagIt

Tracy returned home after her interview for the technical writer position.
She sat down at her personal computer and played the interview over again
in her head.

"I think I impressed the committee . . . I hope I mentioned everything . .
.
Did I play up SnagIt enough?"

She thought about SnagIt and how it makes it easy to capture an exact copy
of anything that appears on your screen, apply edits and annotation, and
send the screenshot directly to the printer, a file, an e-mail, and the
Web.

"Did I mention how SnagIt lets me capture an entire Web page as a single
image - even the part that appears off-screen?" she mused.

She looked at the phone and willed it to ring. When it didn't, she turned
to her computer. Listlessly, she looked at the screen and was immediately
warmed by the sight of the SnagIt icon. It looked like an old friend.
Maybe she'd use it to capture some job information off the Internet.

"Well!" she said cheerfully. "As long as I'm waiting, at least I have you
to keep me company."

If she felt funny talking to an icon, she didn't let on. Instead, she
happily moved on to brush up on her job skills.
