Screenshot: PC vs Mac - an OSX teaser

-


Someone asked me if I knew how to take screenshot on a Windows PC without an external application. Being a Mac user, I was baffled but I knew it was somewhere in there.


I applied the following steps which involved Paint, although not regarded as ‘external’ but rather a ‘bundled’ Windows application.


First I opened a screen and pushed Prnt Scn/SysRq. This action takes the shot of the screen and stores it in RAM but without a click or some sort of confirmation, you wonder if the picture was indeed taken.


Then I pushed Start, Programs and Accessories. In Accessories I pushed Paint.


In Paint, I pushed Edit and then Paste and the picture showed up. Then I pushed File and Save but I was not done yet.


I picked Desktop to save the image, named the picture accordingly and for ‘type’ I tossed between jpg and png. I chose png then pushed Save and I was done. The image showed up on desktop.


To take a screenshot on a Mac, I held Command - Shift and pushed 3 and the png image showed up on desktop.


Cheers, Tommy

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar.

It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte...

MING: 1999-2009

Preamble:- 8.48am February 21 st 2009 saw the demise of Ming, a confidante, companion, friend and a bundle of joy to Alex Peters, not to mention, Flo, Dian, Carol and those his life touched. Ming the entertainer de-stressed anyone who laid eyes on him and girls in particular just loved to cuddle the pocket dynamo. He did not have a 'business end' and given the pain he endured, he was still all 'fun'. He succumbed to cancer but not before thumbing his nose at kemo several years. His resilience was amazing. He hung on as long as he could. The video posted below is Alex’s labor of love for his dear Mingy. I sense dread in the impending storm. Mingy paused. “Would you face it alone! You see, I have no fear of ponies, none at all. I know them and they me” . You look bushed, your voice, tired. Your effort was more daunting than thought, wasn't it! That is because I am complex, born and bred. Just look at me and you thought I was a thoroughbred mutt? ...
