In all the discussion about graphics programs, I haven't seen anything
about HiJaak. Anybody got anything (good or bad) to say about *it*?

I would like to take this opp to sing the praises of PaintShop Pro 4.12. I
have to take screen grabs constantly (both for paper docs and online help)
and I found PSP to be so much better suited than PhotoShop. The feature I
use the most often is that you can create a thumbnail view of all your
graphics in a folder. This makes it so much easier to pick and choose your
graphics. And if you want to use the whole graphic as your screen grab,
just select Copy from the Edit menu and paste it in your document! None of
this silly business of selecting the entire graphic by hand and then
copying it. I never have a mouse that behaves well enough for me to do this
without cursing.
Let the graphic artists enjoy their Adobe. PSP is my fav tool! It was worth
every penny (considering I had to pay in Canadian funds nowadays, that's
saying something).
