I'm sure there are also other ways and other utilities...But I think you'll get along just fine with one of these. If you are going to upload a lot pics at once click here:http://photobucket.com/
Mac OS 9:
To take a screenshot of the entire screen, press Command+Shift+3 simultaneously. This will place a picture file inside the folder for your main hard disk (the drive your active system folder is on).
To take a screenshot of just an area of the screen, press Command+Shift+4 simultaneously. Then you can draw a marquee around the area you want the snapshot taken of. Alternatively, instead of drawing the marquee, press the space bar and a snapshot of the active window will be taken.
Again, a picture file will be automatically created with that image in the main folder of the hard disk.
You can keep snapping away multiple times and the system will automatically increase the numbering of the files sequentially.

Mac OS X:
As with OS 9 - you press Command+Shift+3 simultaneously to get a snapshot of the whole screen and Command+Shift+4 plus a drag to take a snapshot of just an area (or spacebar for the active window or menu - as with OS 9).
This time, the snapshots are saved on your desktop. In earlier versions of OS X they're saved as PDF files, in 10.4 they're saved as PNG files.
