SnagIt is advanced enough to enhance productivity for business users and other professionals, but it's also easy for home users to start right up with. If you regularly copy images, Web pages, and screen views to save, embed, share, and use in other ways, SnagIt is well worth trying. It's free to use for 30 days.

There's an old cartoon in which a wee lad has just downed five or six ice cream sodas. He says to the man behind the counter, 'And now I want to thank you very, very much.'
