Off Topic: Screen Capture Software
I'm interested in acquiring software that will allow the capture of dialog boxes and other screen images, total and partial.
I have seen numerous versions from doing a Google search, but would like to know if anyone has specific experience with a product they would recommend?
Thanks.

Mike,
Yikes!! Don't tell me that you are thinking about spending $100 more than the $1700 locally?
Did you check http://www.bhphotovideo.com ??
