I like something for nothing and here's a nifty deal: TechSmith, the creators of SnagIt, the terrific screen capture tool, and Camtasia, the application for creating screencasts, are giving away copies for the price of a download.
I use SnagIt to take and edit all my screen captures, and you can read my review of the free version in SnagIt -- The $40 Screen Capture Winner.
The Catch There's a catch, but it's something I'll bet you can live with. The freebies are one version behind the current ones. Slightly older for free is smart for you and the company because you might upgrade (which is 50-percent off the regular price).
How to Register First, download and install the demo version of SnagIt 7.2.5 or Camtasia 3.1.3.
Then register to get a registration code that turns the demo version into a fully-functional version. Get the SnagIt registration code and Camtasia registration code. When you install the program, a window will open. Select "I have a Software Key."
Hey Steve! I'm glad you are happy with these freebies. Not to often this happens.
Michel.
