Well friends, we've kind of reached that point - that point where we've pretty much posted everything that we feel is essential installation to run your machine like a geek! Now we are listing a few toys that we like.
I work in a technical environment, and I need to send people "screenshots" every day to converse about various pieces of software or reports. The oldschool way was to press PRINTSCREEN which puts a screencap onto the clipboard, open paint, say SAVE, and send that to whoever I want. If I wanted to send just a small piece of the screen, it was a hassle to clip it down.

And lets you grab entire screen, 1 app only, draw a box around key area (very useful) and draw a random shape. Then you can set it up for clipboard, filesave, or auto file save. Beauty!
