To Take a ScreenShot on OSX

Simply press Cmd - Shift - 4  (at the same time).

Your cursor will turn into a little crosshair.

You can then drag a box around whatever you need a picture of.

A file will then show up on your desktop in industry-standard PNG graphics format.

You can now drag this into a First Class email message as an attachment, into a Word document, etc.
