STORY: SnagIt's partnership

As Dan the technical writer stepped off the plane, he peered into the
cockpit to see all the co-pilot and the pilot filling out their paperwork.
He walked down the corridors of the airport and noted two cops walking
together, parents working to transport their children, and flight
attendants walking in tandem. He collected his car and drove into work,
listening to the afternoon radio duo.

He restarted his computer and SnagIt automatically opened, ready and
willing to work.

His co-worker Tony ducked in his head and asked, "How was your flight?"

"Extremely satisfying," Dan revealed. "People think technical writing is
a lonely existence, but it's not true. Lots of jobs operate in pairs.
People of many professions go everywhere with someone else - they help
each other, guide each other - and I have that with SnagIt."

"For instance," Dan continued, "SnagIt is so flexible that I'm able to use
it in whatever way I want. If I want to change my settings, I can, and
they stay changed until I change them back. There's no need to fool
around with them every time I do a capture. I set the capture area, the
output, autonumbering - SnagIt makes the perfect partner."

"So, since you have the perfect partner already, does that mean you don't
want us to try to fix you up anymore?" Tony teased as he walked away.

Dan thought of all the days and nights he'd spent with SnagIt and mumbled,
"Heck, if I could find a partner as true as you?"

He gazed upon the screen. "That'd be great - but highly unlikely," he
said, and continued on merrily with his work.
