PC's don't support taking a specific screenshot area out of the box. Macs do. And the only reason that it happens to be so easy on a PC, is that IBM compatible keyboards have an antiquated key, which microsoft decided would take screenshots.

yes they do..... have you seen the new snipping tool (i am on xp, so can't check the name) that takes screens of specific areas.
Ok, IBM compatible keyboards, with screenshot button, you would think apple would have done something simmilar to make taking screenshots easier?
NO, they havn't they have continued with this stupid key combination!
IF I were Steve Jobs I would include a screenshot button.

Mac keyboards have been the same since the early days, and to be fair, making screenshots easier wasn't a high priority when designing the new mac keyboards...

[heebyjeebys]

if you were a mac user would you rather get lost and in a fuddle messing round with rediclous key combinations or would you rather press one button?
some of the symbols apart from the apple button look like hyroglyphics. funny weird shaped bar thing and a weird triangle....

Those keys always have text written on them aswell though-

⌥ = alt/option (same thing)

⌘ = command (which is basically the same as the windows CTRL key)

Mac keyboards have additional function keys which IBM keyboards don't. Mac keyboards have an equals button, which programs like sibelius make good use of. They have a clear button instead of num lock, as most people don't use the num lock for navigation.

Very well thought out actually...

i would say the enter key is used as an eaquals button. windows has an eaquals button : =
where you get thoes symbols from

And the equals button is on the num pad:



It's an older model by the way; apple have updated their keyboard since this

[heebyjeebys]

the numpad is the block of numbers to the far right. I can't remember what the top row of numbers is called
btw, the new mac keyboard is very nice, but it might break... the keys feel a little flimsy for me

Yar, I really love the look of it too, but I don't think I'll get enough tactile feedback from the keys- they don't 'clunk' enough for me...

[heebyjeebys]

Macs are crap though, i mean their pricing is wrong, the way thy are made and marketed is wrong, their advertising is wrong and creating pc as a skapegoat...
What apple have done, no what steve jobs has done is created a company that lies. Apple was crap when steve left, now they are "good" that he has returned. Steve is the only person who makes mac mac. when he goes. mac will be gone
