Next up: To "discourage" Vicky from camping out on my desk and rubbing on the keyboard. sigh. Can't use the 'ole squirt gun trick -- she *likes* water.

If she can move a wireless keyboard, that may do it because as she rubs, it moves, and the she'd have something to think about...and maybe move on.

Oh no... Things that move are even MORE interesting. And if they dare make any sort of crinkling noise -- it's HERS forever. Celephane envelopes, plastic wrappers on double-bottles from BJs, etc.

I've added some heavy clutter to the desk, so she can't get/stay comfortable. It seems to have slowed her down a bit.

Her current interest is a box of old coins (in those cardboard-window holder thingys), that I'm preparing to sell on eBay. She immediately Pays Attention when the scanner starts to make noise! hum. Wondering if full disclosure in the auctions is required: "These coins have been thoroughly licked by our cat. Cat not included, yet."

[after taking a snapshot] I use the annotation tools in Preview (which are 10.6+ only, I think, sadly) or Graphic Converter to do the annotations on the png. I do this all the time for support reasons because a picture is worth endless text and less open to interpretation.

yea.  Pictures work great.   "Make that dialog look like this!"

Didn't the old Mac OS have a help thingy that would open preferences and such, then interactively draw a circle around the item it wanted you to check?
