STORY: Only TWO weeks left - two SnagIt for $60!

~~~~~~~~~~

At a family get together, Dan the technical writer stopped as he walked by
his uncle's computer.

"Um, Uncle Stuart, what are you doing?" he asked nervously.

"Oh, I'm just capturing this online receipt with my screen capture
program," Stuart replied.

"But you're not using SnagIt!" Dan replied.  "As a documentation
specialist, I must urge you to try out SnagIt."

"Why?" Stuart asked.  

Dan replied, "SnagIt is incredibly easy to use.  You can capture a window,
a region, an object, text, video - whatever you want."

Dan continued, "Plus, you can annotate it within the same program.  And
you can send the capture wherever you want - including the SnagIt Catalog,
which is a great place to organize your captures, save them for easy
reference, and convert in batches."

"Hmm.  Sounds good," Stuart replied.  "But how much?"

"If you purchase before Dec 31, you get two SnagIt for $60.  It's
regularly $39.95 for one!" Dan exclaimed.

Stuart looked at the screen in disgust.  "Too bad you didn't come in here
5 minutes earlier!" he said.  "I just bought my admin fast food gift
certificates!"

"You can afford to give both," Dan said.  "And... the satisfaction he gets
from SnagIt will last much, much longer."

One technical writing department using the Information Mapping method
survived a merger by convincing the new company of their value through a
usability study. This study showed how the Information Mapping method:

* Added value to the company
* Saved the company money
* Saved readers' time, and
* Reduced the errors encountered by readers.

Being able to offer this proof ultimately saved their jobs.  To read the
