@GeorgeEdison can't you do that with your built in screen capture program?

@TheX: You mean Shutter?

It's a great tool, but it doesn't work very well for webpages.

Windows 7... what's that? :P

Windows 7

Windows 7 is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs, and media center PCs. Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009, less than three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista. Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the same time.

@GeorgeEdison Sweet, I applied

Cool.

Let me know if you get in :)

We'll see! :D

I applied about 6 months ago...

8:53 PM

Well I'm not.

i am sorry @GeorgeEdison if they accept me I will post mail it to you ASAP

No, no. Don't worry about it.

Whoever gets it has to use it alot anyway.

you would use it a lot I am sure... it would just sit by my desktop and collect dust probably

might make a good heater for the cat though...

They claim it boots in 10 seconds.

...and resumes from sleep instantaneously.

so does my ipad
