Grab to the rescue!

One day my fiance was doing something on the computer at home, something important, though i now forgotten what, being one and a half years ago. She ran into some trouble, and called me at work. From my (yeck!) Windoze machine at work, i telnetted to our home machine - luckily we had a cable modem with a fixed IP address. This was a BeOS machine, naturally, and through telnet i ran Grab to save a screen capture as an image file. With FTP i pulled this file over to my work machine, looked and behold, i see the trouble, and was able to explain to her what to do. Without Grab, it would have been very hard to figure out what was going on.

Grab is a vital tool for these kinds of emergencies. Useful especially if you don't use a screen-keyboard takeover program like VNC which is great but overkill for some situations like what we had.
