mac hint for me

Comments (2)

who forgot to tell me this tasty hint??

to take a screen shot...
hold down "shift"+"open apple"+"3"

"open apple" is what we called that key in elementary school. there used to be an open apple and a closed apple, each keys on alternate sides of the space bar on the old Apple iie. the keys are still located there, but now they are both "open apples". We used to play "Lemonade Stand". it rocked.

can't tell you what minimum level of OS X you need for that snack, but it works on my version....(click to enlarge that pic to enourmous size)....i am running 10.4.2. for all i know this has been a feature since OS 7.

regardless, yummmm

screen shots are so cool.
so, fess up. who forgot to tell me?

Some form of screen capture has been available for quite some time. I believe "Grab" (the OSX screen capture utility) came along with Jaguar (10.2). I found it a bit clunky at times. Now, it seems the Tiger version (10.4) of "Preview" includes screen capture functionality, which is what I believe you just discovered. I've also noticed some screen capture Dashboard Widgets on Apple's site.

Of course if you're on a PC, just hit the "PrtScn" button on your keyboard, open up Microsoft Word or a graphics editor (i.e. Photoshop) and Ctrl-V (Paste) it on down to your document.

Sorry.

For a wild ride press the 4 key instead of the 3.

Hang on Toad!
