Extend Mac OS X's Screenshots
To take a screenshot of something other than the entire screen, press Command-Shift-4. You'll get a crosshairs cursor with which you can drag out a selection rectangle. However, there are some other tricks you can use after pressing Command-Shift-4:
- Press the space bar to select the entire window that the cursor is over; the resulting screenshot will even get a nice drop shadow.
- Hold down the space bar while dragging out a selection to move your selection rectangle around on the screen. Let up on the space bar to resize the rectangle.
- Hold down Shift while dragging out a selection to constrain the selection in either horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on the direction of your drag.
- Hold down Option while dragging out a selection to expand the selection around a center point.

The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh
My book, The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh, is printed and available for ordering. Bookstores should have it in stock soon. You don't have to go through a bookstore, since Hayden accepts credit card orders via email, phone, and fax. TidBITS readers receive a 20 percent discount by providing the magic code "310D" (The discount works for orders of ten books or fewer). Shipping costs about $3 per book for U.S. mail or $6 for Federal Express - your choice. If you order from overseas, Hayden may mail the book from a distributor in your country, thus reducing the postage fees. If you live in Indiana, Hayden charges sales tax as well.
Spreading the word -- If you'd like to help me, and in the process help others gain access to the Internet, please let Internet providers and user groups (who get discounts on bulk orders) know about the book. In addition, if your friendly local bookstore doesn't carry the book, please ask them to do so. I especially hope college and university campus bookstores carry it, since students and staff often have difficulty finding good information about the Internet despite having amazing connections to the Internet. Thanks for your help!
