how to print screen in a macbook? =P

err... hehe i've only had my macbook for a couple of days now, so how do I print screen? =)

Command+shift+3 saves the screen to a file on the desktop. Hold down control to place the screen in your clipboard instead of creating a file (then paste the image anywhere).

Excerpted from the Switcher's FAQ:

Q: Where's my print screen button, how do I take screenshots?
A: Shortcuts to capture a screen or part of the screen:
Apple+shift+3 - full screen
Apple+shift+4 - choose the area.
Apple+shift+space+4 - active window.
Apple+shift+4, then press CNTL while selecting - choose area, copy to clipboard.

It's actually:
press Command Shift 4 once THEN press Space once
(not holding them all at the same time)

You'll then see the mouse change into a camera.

Then you can click on a window to take a screenshot of that window.
