You can try Gimp (http://www.gimp.org). It's primarily an image editor, but can do text overlays. It handles text a bit oddly, so it'll take some work to get used to it, but for small amounts of text, it should be fine. A heck of a lot better than Paint. Free and available with ports for Mac and Windows.
