STORY: SnagIt gifts

Filled with the holiday spirit, Dan the technical writer quickly passed
out gifts to his nieces and nephews at the family Christmas party.

The room was soon filled with the joyful sounds of children asking, "What
is it?"

Dan stood, and with a thunderous voice, said, "What you've received is the
screen capture program SnagIt."

They circled around him, clutching their SnagIt software.

"SnagIt aids in a variety of tasks - it makes it possible to capture the
exact area of the screen you need, like toolbar buttons, scrolling
windows, and specific regions. Also - need to capture a menu? Take
advantage of SnagIt's Menu Capture mode! With SnagIt, you'll never need
to crop out huge areas of the screen again. When you experience SnagIt's
time-saving options, you'll know you've found the technical writer's most
effective tool."

He cleared his throat. "And since that's what ALL of you want to be when
you grow up, I thought I'd get you started on the right track."

He was lost in a pileup of their gratitude.

ANNOUNCE: TECHWR-L Contributing Author Doug Isenberg
Publishes Internet Law Book

Join us in congratulating TECHWR-L contributing author
Doug Isenberg on his new book, _The GigaLaw Guide to
Internet Law_, Random House, October, 2002.

Doug notes that the book is especially relevant to
technical writers: "The book includes four chapters
on copyright law, which should be of particular
interest to technical writers. Those chapters cover
the fundamentals of copyright protection--including
such important issues as copyright registrations,
the 'fair use' doctrine, and 'works made for hire.'
The book also includes three chapters on contract
law, which should benefit technical writers who use
(or should use!) contracts with their clients."

A thorough, well-written book, _The GigaLaw Guide to
Internet Law_ covers a range of topics, including
copyright law, domain names, trademarks, patent law,
privacy, free speech and the first amendment, contract
law and high technology, and employment law.

TECHWR-L's Ask the Lawyer author, Doug is an attorney
practicing intellectual property and Internet law in
Atlanta and is the editor and publisher of GigaLaw.com,
a Web site that provides legal information for Internet
professionals, high-tech entrepreneurs, and the lawyers
who serve them. Doug is licensed to practice law in the
state of Georgia, speaks regularly on Internet law, and
has appeared on-air on CNN and National Public Radio
programming.

Congratulations, Doug!
