or just use Grab in your utilities folder. Best way to do it. You can drag a selection and take a snap shot. Or select a window and it only takes that window as a snap shot. Or the whole desktop. 10/24/2007 11:48:08 PM |

shift+apple+4 lets you select a portion of the screen that is good enough for me 10/24/2007 11:49:53 PM |

You can also press spacebar after apple-shift-4 to capture just a window OR a menu.
You can also hold down control to put the screen capture on the clip board instead of a file.10/24/2007 11:55:27 PM |

What's stupid? this was back in the days before printer drivers, where you computer sent ASCII data to the printer, and the printer just reproduced it. It wasn't stupid at all.10/24/2007 11:56:31 PM |

It's stupid that they still call the button PRINT SCREEN when it doesn't do that anymore

Well it depends on your terminology.
Cause I mean after your supposed "screen capture" my screen is still right there where it was before I hit the button.
or some shit. 10/25/2007 12:02:35 AM |
moron All American 33720 Posts user info edit post |
^^ That I agree with.
That's because keyboard manufacturers are dumb and lazy, they should have changed that button a while ago.
Also, get a Mac 10/25/2007 12:09:14 AM |
