As a long time fan of this software, it has been a painful road to this point. The copy protection mechanism continues to get in the legitimate user's way. The bugs continue to exist where competing software operates without issue. At points along the way, having Snapz loaded caused significant system performance degradation.

While this fairly mainstream software is not dead last in the relatively minor conversion to the intel CPU machine code (that dubious distinction will go to Microsoft), it does get the honor of pulling in second to last.

So in its absence, there is command-shift-3 and 4 (option key and space bar are friends) as well as the built in "Grab" utility. They make up for the the majority of what Snapz does. Then, there is Jing which can capture movies and perform minor annotations. Combine these with OmniGraffle which comes on many Apple CPUs and the honest customer obstacles of Snapz's copy protection and bugs hard seem worth the effort.

Pretty software, somewhat high priced, overcomplicated copy protection scheme that is very annoying, very likely to not work in Leopard. Not bad but just not good enough to overcome the difficulties it creates.
