I use this ALL (yes, I'm shouting with glee) the time and it has so many 
hidden things you can do with it.

My favorite couple of things are that I can put a border on every screen 
shot automatically, and I can do color conversion as I capture the 
shot.  This means I dump the gray background, that almost always prints 
motley, and replace it with a lighter tint that looks smoother on a Docutech.

And, of course, the autoscroll feature saves me all the time when I am 
doing a web page that is just too big to fit on the screen so I can get the 
best image quality by capturing more pixels.

If your boss is too cheap to buy it, spend the $35 and save your sanity.

of the jet where the engine caught fire because the company's maintenance 
manual was wrong about how to install one key bolt.  (NTSB Report on GE CF6
