[Cube] for pep

There's a great new tool out there - the internet.

Google for OS X screenshot, and the very top hit reveals the following:

Built-in Screenshot Capabilities: The Basics


Mac OS X comes with built-in capability for capturing screen shots. To 
capture the entire screen, you can simply press Command-Shift-3.


To capture a region of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then click and 
drag the cursor to mark the area you want to capture. When you lift your 
finger from the mouse button, Mac OS X will record that real estate and 
place a .pdf file on your desktop.

When I was in highschool I had a lot of problems with classes.  My guidance counselor gave me this standardized test thingie.  I scored in the top 1% in abstract reasoning, mechanical reasoning, and spatial relationship comprehension, but I only got a 65th percentile in verbal and a 45th percentile in numerical: I got all the "weird s#!*" in my pocket, but the day to day stuff is a problem for me.  So, I PERSONALLY find a lot of the protocols for some software baffling if they do not respond in a mechanically direct way.  THAT'S JUST ME.

If I have to read anything to figure them out, or worse, if there are any numerical calculations involved, I'm simply lost.  THAT'S JUST ME.

I like learning stuff from just lurking here (And I subscribe to every post, not just the digest).  Help never told me I could do a section of a screen shot by pressing "Apple Shift 4": I never would have figured that out if it wasn't for this list (How ANYBODY figured that out is beyond me).  Lot's of other examples.
