My Printscreen button was fried on my old keyboard But thankfully, it shocked the hell out of me a couple o' weeks back so I had to dig another keyboard out with a working key

Oh I was wondering what that key does, lol I thought it was something to do with printing out documents. It sounds pretty cool. A bit like control A selects all the text in an edit field, but it'll select everything in a non-editable area as well. Nice.

Weird! I've told tons of people how to do it and they've never had any difference in it!

For most it'll be next to F12, but if you're not seeing it, don't go crazy! You just have a different keyboard. It's there somewhere if you're using a PC.

blame microsoft... the F lock key annoys the hell out of me anyways

The insert key annoys me. I never use it. Sometimes I hit it accidentally and don't realize and then I mess everything up.

Damn right I'm good in bed, I can sleep for hours!

You love it. You know you do.

if you're on a standard keyboard, then just pry off the key with a knife or something, even i don't know anyone who uses it.

love the print screen, captured so many things I normally wouldn't have had the chance to!

I however don't use it that often

the keys are in slightly different places depending on where you live for exanple I think that european keyboards are different to US and UK keyboards.

I only found out how to do this when I started my computer course at college

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I enjoy using the PrtScn key to capture an image or a persons desktop then replacing there desktop backgroup with the PrtScn image I just made then deleteing all their icons and shortcuts on their desktop. But because of the pic of their desktop it looks like they are all still there, but they aren't, just the pic, so they think the pc is locked up or something, so they reboot. rebooting doesn't help though cause the icons are just a pic. Its evil, but a fun thing to do to coworkers. Provides hours of entertainment at work.

Resource usage.

besides, paint does all the things you just said
