    Snipping Tool Rocks!

    I recently found the Snipping Tool in my Windows Ultimate. Pardon me for being a late-blooming Dork, but I always seem to CTRL+PrintScreen my desktop, then have to crop the heck out of it with the Picture Tools in Word/Outlook 2007. Pain in the rump for doing quick screen captures quickly. And usually when I want to annotate something quick, I have to fire up PaintShopPro, Paint, or SnagIt. "Kappoy gyud kaayo." (That's pretty tiring.) 

    The Snipping Tool can even save the URI below the snip when grabbing a web page. Excellent. Try it out by going to your Start menu and start typing Snipp.. it should pop right up for you to select.  Since I run dual-monitors (like most of the free-world coders out here), this saves a ton of clipboard memory too.

    Speaking of which, I noticed those two new boxes on all my desktop windows. The first spans the window across both screens, and the second quickly toggles the window to the "other" screen. (And I have been minimizing, dragging, dropping and maximizing.. shame on me..)

    I should know better, having seen some fo the multi-monitor stuff some researchers are working upon that will be the next best thing to sliced Tasty Bread and a Caramel Macchiatto. :)

    Keep it real!
