Jonathan: Are you actually listening to Puccini's Tosca, or did you just put that on to yank our chains? While we're talking about opera, has anybody here read David Pogue's Opera for Dummies?

PS: Here's my own desktop, also at 50%.
There's got to be a more elegant way than Grab to capture a screenshot... I guess I'm not the power user I pretend to be.
Thanks, EmAn. And Mac Help tells me that Command-Shift-4 works too. Wow, it brings up a nifty cross-hair, with which you can select a particular area for a screenshot. Is there any way to make it save in a format other than PDF, e.g. JPG? GraphicConverter couldn't open the PDF to resize it.

Preview is there for all your graphic converting needs!
This happens on a friend's mac as well although when I use Grab it automatically saves the file as a .tiff
Actually, Command-Shift-3 (and 4) save as PDF, but Grab correctly saves a TIFF file on my desktop. What I don't like is that Grab has to be the active app (as far as I can tell) to take a screenshot.
Ok, so it took me about 40 min to try to figure out how to upload that... first using the terminal... then finally giving up and downloading fetch.. :-/

Not really- I guess I am a bit of an exhibitionist. If I got anything to secret on I turn of the screen dump program.
What about when you're looking at porn?

Well... as I said I turn it off at times. I have been caught in aquard moments before.

You must be using a really old version of GraphicConverter, then. Version 4.something added PDF-viewing support.

Can you change the size of your desktop (anything below 600 pixel wide) so the thread won't look bad.

But seriously, who would ever do that to a car. . . Even to a car with bad balance and chronic understeer, that's a crime.
Ironchef!!!! I want that picture! If you don't mind, please send email.
