Recording screen activity
Is it possible to record what you do on a screen, ie mouse movement, menu clicking etc..
Short of pointing a video camera at my screen while I do things, I don't know if there's a program to do it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Camtasia seemed to work well. Not sure how to search for other similar programs. What key words would you recommend?
