Hi, Ian,

Print Screen?!?!?!?!  I have hated that tool since I first learned about 
it.  Just too cumbersome a process to use it to get a simple screenshot.

Depending on the ultimate need, I either use the Snipping Tool or 
Irfanview, and that's when I'm using Windows.  For just your basic 
screen shot, Macs are easier to get the screen shot.

I fit George Bernard Shaw's definition of an unreasonable person.  I'm 
always looking for quicker, easier ways to do the same job.  It seems 
most people could care less about looking for something better.  :-(

Simply being able to export a selected frame as a graphic and be done is 
a lot easier that having to accurately drag a rubber band around an 
area, saving, and possibly having to crop later for the accuracy.

When it comes to easier and simpler, Windows seems, to me, to be always 
lagging in this area.  I've never understood this, unless it comes from 
the fact that everyone buys Windows computers, so there's no pressure to 
change.
