Not true, I was able to get all the images quickly and easily. I
simply practiced my timing, (two goes, 6 secs) and screenshot'ed.
And I am talking getting just the image rectangle. On a Mac, you
press Command+Shift+4 and you get ready and speedily draw the
rect and snap!

[BTW, screen snapping is not something to be sneezed at as some
low rent way of capturing. I was surprised recently (but not
flabbergasted) by the way it picks up things that are not
necessarily evident to the eye on the screen it is snapped at. I
do design work for printing and use screenshots a lot to show
clients the artwork (they often have trouble viewing the actual
Illustrator files...). I picked up a fault in the art work via
the screenshot recently in a surprising manner:

Snapped the art layout, I have it in png format at the moment. I
dragged this png to Fireworks and exported it to a gif (it was
the most economical format for communication in this instance).
Low and behold, there was a ghastly rectangular ghost of a pale
background to one small element in the artwork. I thought I had
matched that background to that element (a placed pic prepared in
Photoshop) exactly to the general background but no! On
re-examining the Illustrator file at great magnification, the
fault became evident and may have printed as such!]
