To take a screenshot of your ENTIRE screen, press your Print Screen button on your keyboard. To take a screenshot of only the active window (useful for Pokerstars screens, etc.) press ALT+Print Screen. Then the image will be in your clipboard. You will need to open an image editor such as Adobe Photoshop, and then paste it in. You can then save it.

My printer's out of ink and I probably won't make the final table, so whatever.

nah, he missed it, beautiful last stand he made though. A9s vs AJs, flop gave him nut flush draw... missed though.

On aome older systems, Like DOS 5.x and down, the print screen button used to literally print the screen immediatly. Good for debugging older programs, same with the pause/break button. Both carryovers from pre-windows days.

That's what the Scroll Lock button is for.. now it's 100% useless, although all new keyboards still make it.. lol.

I forget exactly, but it's for when computers used DOS as their main OS, or a *NIX, and I think it's when the screen overflowed with text, you could hit scroll lock, and it'd freeze the screen or something.. similar to 'pause'.. something like that..

Actually the "Pause" button froze all data in and out of the processor, halting all program execution, while "Scroll Lock" froze just the output to the screen.
