The '90s PC add-on that everyone forgot - Snappy Video Snapshot
Introduced in 1995, the Snappy Video Snapshot was the best-selling multimedia PC add-on since the Sound Blaster -- a device that plugged into the parallel printer port and captured high-quality images from any video source. Despite that success, few people seem to remember it today, which is a shame because it's easy to use and produces superb results.
