Shit!

I've done my donation to unicef for help_haiti, but I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO A SCREEN CAP!

My 'new' laptop (a year old) has the most cryptic keyboard. All sorts of goofy symbols of whothefuckknows. There IS a prt sc button, which I assume is print screen, but it's written below HOME and it's inside a box. What does that mean? I've tried shift, ctrl AND alt, with no luck. grrr

Crisis averted. I got a confirmation email that I can forward.

Thanks for your tips, though, and I"ll faff around for a while so I don't have this problem in the future. :D

Do you have an Fn key? Sometimes if you hit that first, you can access the stuff written under? What brand of keyboard is it, maybe I can look it up and take a look at it and then make wild crazy suggestions. :D

I DO have an fn key. Obviously I have all sorts of stuff I have never tried.

I love this laptop, but they keys are sort of a muted gold/bronze colour, and the writing on them is white and light blue and it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to read anything on the keys! *eyeroll*

Anyway, the crisis is averted, because Unicef sent me a confirmation email. (I wasn't sure if they would) So I can send that to help_haiti and/or my auction person.

Thanks for the tip though. Obviously, I should still figure out HOW to do a screencap. I'll play around with that Fn key. :D

HEEEEE don't worry, I never learned to use my Fn key, but I remember some other computer whiz was like "oh here --" and then hit that and suddenly could do a whole bunch of other cool-ass stuff with my laptop...and then I never did it again. LOL.

I'm such a dinosaur - nice, shiny technology and I'm just like "WHERE'S THE 'CLASSIC' OPTION, I WANT EVERYTHING THE SAME AS IT'S BEEN FOR TEN YEARS." XD
