CaptureWiz hits ten years old.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Golly, the first version of CaptureWiz was released way back in 2000! In the last ten years we've talked with so many customers, learned so much, and made so many improvements, that the original version would be unrecognizable to today's users. The biggest thing we've learned, the hard way, is our customers overwhelmingly prefer simplicity. Also, not to worry about the free Snipping Tool now included with Windows, it didn't affect us. And the best advertising is word of mouth. Thank you, everyone, who helped make CaptureWiz the handy tool it is today!

Scroll capture will work in next version of Firefox.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Our complaints were heard! The developers of Firefox worked with PixelMetrics to add the necessary messaging for scroll capture. We anticipate the fix will be in the next public release of Firefox. Thank you to everyone who supported our complaint #315727 to Mozilla.
