Hi John,

Thank you so much for yesterday (Tools-4-All Workshop), I am finally getting the message about technology (not bad for a technophobe), Anyway I got so excited last night I couldn't sleep thinking of ways to make teaching more dynamic and interactive.

So here I am this morning briefing my tutors on the event and armed with my memory stick inserted it into a staff apple Mac thing and we couldn't install snippy... ...So being disappointed I thought I would email straight away for your advice...

Anyway I would be grateful if you could possibly let me know if snippy... ...can be installed or brief instruction on what I have done wrong. (It asked the question - what application?)...

Sorry Keren, I propably didn't make it clear that Snippy is software for use on a Microsoft Operation platform not the Mac.

However... 

The Macintosh operating system has always made it easy to capture a screen shot (an image of your computer desktop or an active window). Here's a summary of all the methods you can use to capture your screen using Mac OS X.

Here's How:

1. To capture the entire desktop, press Command-Shift-3. The screen shot will be automatically saved as a file on your desktop.
2. To copy the entire desktop, press Command-Control-Shift-3. The screen shot will be placed on your clipboard for you to paste into another program.
3. To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop. (The file is saved as PDF in Mac OS 10.3 and earlier.)
4. To capture a specific application window, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Spacebar. The cursor will change to a camera, and you can move it around the screen. As you move the cursor over an application window, the window will be highlighted. The entire window does not need to be visible for you to capture it. When you have the cursor over a window you want to capture, just click the mouse button and the screen shot will be saved as a PNG file on your desktop. (The file is saved as PDF in Mac OS 10.3 and earlier.)

Note: Add Control to shortcuts 3 & 4 above, to place the screen shot on the clipboard instead of saving it to the desktop.
