This may not fit in this topic, but I have a silly question. Does anyone know how to take a screen shot on a mac? I know how to do it on a PC, but not a mac...

Thanks!

Couple of different ways.
Full screen shot is command+shift+3.
Or use Grab for croppable areas (I forget the key combo for that at the mo).

Here is the list of keyboard shortcuts for Grab.
Right outta the Mac OS Help menu:

▪ To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
▪ To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
▪ To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. (If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.)
▪ If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
▪ Screen shots are saved as PDF files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.

Didn't know that one about the menu bar or window thing. Although I couldn't get it to work with the Dock, but that's probably because I don't always have mine visible, I'm guessing.

take a screen grab of someones desktop, create a brush that looks like an arrow cursor in photoshop, open the screen grab in photoshop, select the cursor shaped brush, press tab to hide all the pallettes... sit back and laugh :p
