STORY: SnagIt and the new year

"It's time to write my new year's resolutions!" Dan the technical writer
thought.

After a few minutes of contemplation, he wrote:

1) Stop eating fried food (on weekdays)
2) Take more time to respond to the tech-whirlers
3) Learn all about SnagIt

Dan looked at #3 and realized that even though he'd made that resolution
numerous times, TechSmith, Inc kept improving SnagIt by adding more
options and features!

He decided to do a little research to see how SnagIt had changed just
during 2002. He logged onto TechSmith's site and read about how SnagIt
v6.1 and maintenance releases had consistently made screen capture easier
for technical writers.

Happily, he read over his resolutions again. "Despite SnagIt's constant
improvements," he said, "I still have a better chance of learning all
about it than I do cutting back on fried food."

Learn more about SnagIt at www.techsmith.com.
