I have been using the snipping tool for years. I just can't imagine working without it. I utilize the tool as a notebook where I can take notes quickly and for the shortest amount of time. Typically when I am on a webinar, and I see a worthy stat or information that I want to retain for future use, I pull out the snipping tool, click new and voila...it is saved onto my computer file. It is easy, simple and very convenient to use. The best part is that it is FREE. I just couldn't do without this software. Whenever I get a new computer, this is the first software that I download.
