I actually was most impressed by the photo part myself.

Cutlist plus has a new update and it is crazy fast now. I don't even
see any thing happen the results just instantly appear. I had no
problem with the speed before but it is much faster now.

It is certainly a bargain.

Oh hell yeah! And this thing won't replace it.

Maide doesn't work very will with my old laptop, but the idea is great.
AAMOF, just being to take a photo of a position is worth the price of
admission.

I'm thinking an upgrade to a new laptop will probably solve the issues
I've had with it, slow, jerky, latency unacceptable.

That said, this thing has great potential and is definitely a keeper.
With future upgrades, it will get better.

Thanks again to Phil for the heads-up.

Not ready for prime time, at least on a Windows machine. Still too
jerky, and a photo can only be taken on the primary monitor, so you have
to set your display settings every time you use it, which is still a hit
and miss proposition with Windows 7.

Be interested in hearing input from someone using a Mac.

Five bucks? I think he can afford that app and will buy it. ;)
