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.

| Power Macintosh Prices
Here are the official prices, straight from the Apple propaganda distributed at today's presentation. All of these prices are "Apple prices," which means that they are probably relatively close to what you'll pay at a normal dealer. Obviously, academic discounts will make a difference. Prices for the Power Macs include only the CPU, no keyboard or monitor. The first number is the amount of RAM, the second is the hard drive size, CD indicates an internal AppleCD 300+, AV indicates additional AV technologies included, and SoftWindows indicates that the program is included in the bundle.
