In BeOS I mean :D

I pressed printscreen and my mouse stopped for a sec, so I assume it's the correct thing to do, but so I downloaded a graphics program (a whopping 47KB), and I don't see how I can paste the screenshot... ctrl-v and alt-v don't do anything and there is no paste in the right click menu...

Anybody out there know? :)

You sure a 47KB graphics program is capable of copy and paste? :p

It even has this transparency option thingy and a cpu usage monitor.. it CAN do stuff... but I think it is just severely limited :p ... I think all you can do is drag images into it I don't know.. or I'm just incompetent :|

Oh I get it...

It automatically creates a bloated (BMP equivalent I guess) pic somewhere.. all I do now is click it and convert to what I want (jpeg, png, whatever - all works automatically, unlike Pbrush)...

Now I cant get onto my ftp and the ICQ client doesn't do sending.. doh :|

you take a floppy... and a brush.

Make sure you have your screen showing what you want.

take that brush and a jar of paste.

cover your screen with it, or at least what you want to cap.

then, stick your floppy onto the screen. if you have a burner, you can stick a CDR to the screen, or CDRW disk if you want.

if this does not work, then i can't help you.

if this does, nothing can help you.

I just set up BeOS at my cousin's house (P3-450/192MB/CAble).. everything worked perfectly again, and very surprisingly his NICs and cable modem worked flawlessly within 2 seconds of setting them up! I was seriously surprised.
