I am truly excited about this information, as I am always needing to take screen grabs and share them with others.  Yes, I have SnagIt installed, but the process is time consuming and then I have to go and manually upload the file to my server over FTP – this can take some time.  Having the GrabUp software will allow me to take screen grabs faster than ever and will allow me to upload them to my web server with ease.

I am looking forward to the release of the Windows version and am already planning on buying a pro license.

Cheers!

Why am I writing about this?  Well Andrew Dobrow has a great post as to why Robert Scoble should be running Microsoft.  He talks about how MS has become so far removed from listening to customers that they are seen as a monster.  I can agree with what he wrote.  Apple listens to what their customers want and gives it to them.  The unfortunate thing is that it is at such a high price.

I just feel that I am still a bit disconnected from my tech friends because I am sitting here running a Windows machine, and they are all sailing along with OSX.

So, does anyone want to buy me a Mac? HA!  But seriously, if you want to, I will accept one :)

Cheers!
