Cleaner and easier and just as fast for who? Apple System Software Progammers.
As for the end user, let's compare the methods:
FKEY #4 FKEY #3
------- -------
press cmd-shft-4 press cmd-shft-3
pick up printout start Paint program
open screen dump
choose print
quit paint program
throw away screen dump
pick up printout
I think it is clear which method is cleaner and easier for the user.
While I realize that Mr. Holt is not an official Apple spokesman, I must
say that if Apple's position is the same as his, I am very disappointed.
