Hi. I'm looking for a program that let's me take an image of the screen
including my cursor. The program should have a timer so I can get my
cursor in place before snapping the screenshot. I have been using
LittleSnapper but it has a few problems that make it unusable for some
of the screenshots I'm trying to make. The cheaper the software, the
better. Thanks.

Grab.app is part of OS X (it's in the Utilities folder), and fulfills
all of those requirements.

Have you tried the Grab utility that is included with OS X?

For professional use, I employ Snapz Pro X

another good program although won't show Mouse pointer is Jing.
you can save to a location then location can be pasted. or you send to
their website and paste a URL. The free version has advertising. for
$14.95 a year they remove advertising and you get unlimited upload per
month.

If 'cursor' means mouse pointer, then Grab does not meet the stated
requirements.
