Paste screenshot into OpenOffice, then do your annotation, and export to 
pdf. Hell, you can even send as pdf using your email client right from 
the OpenOffice menu. You are out zero dollars, and once you have it set 
up the whole process will take under a minute.

Last I checked, Microsoft Office *still* doesn't have a PDF export 
option, and PDF is the killer part of this: everyone in the world is set 
up to view PDFs.
