RE: Screen Capture Software? (Paint.Net)

[<Brian -dot- Henderson -at- mitchell1 -dot- com>]

Paint.net was a side project by some Microsoft people to update Paint.
For whatever reason, MS doesn't officially claim it, but it's secretly
understood to be the "official" Paint replacement. Go figure.

(and it's not a bad little paint program)

If you decide to go this route, I suggest the free Paint.net
(www.getpaint.net). It's a lot more powerful, and a lot less
frustrating, than MS Paint.

I've no ties to paint.net other than it's free and it works. -=Ed.
