Heh. I couldn't let Gauss's Windows only screenshot tip go by without offering some for the Mac too
In OS 9 & X, Cmd-Shift-3 takes a picture of your entire screen.
In OS 9 & X, Cmd-Shift-4 gives you a curser that's a little +. Drag diagonally to select an area; when you release the mouse, you get that satisfying little shutter sound; it's take a picture of your selected area.
In OS 9 (only): Cmd-Shift-4-CapsLock gives you a bullseye curser that will take a picture of one window or dialog box. Just aim the curser at the window and release the mouse.
OS 9: Add the Cntrl key to any one of the above and the image is copied onto your clipboard.
Unfortunately, in OS X the ability to capture a specific window is gone. But X adds a little app called "Grab," which adds some functionality, like being able to time a capture. In other words, you can set up your shot before you capture the image (Cmd-Shift-Z).
Personally, though, I highly recommend
SnapZ Pro if you do a lot of screenshots. It's a beautiful little utility that lets you do just about anything you want with a screenshot, easily and quickly.
