Ä?P???
I noticed you use a mac, I use a windows XP, think thats why it's not working?

tried lots of times
I used what ferrari_chris said for my XP laptop that I used to have, and it worked perfectly.

For my mac, I just have to press Command + Shift + 3, then I upload the pic. :D
 
Step by step.
  1. Push "print screen." Is is roughly 1 CM above the insert key. For reference, the insert key is above the delete key.
  2. Open "Paint." It should be in accessories in the start menu if you have XP.
  3. Push and hold the"Control" key which is at the ends of the QWERTY part of the keyboard.
  4. While holding "Control" (and this is the important part), push the "V" button. But don't let go of the "control" key! You did, didn't you. I'll give you a minute. Back now? Good.
  5. Now, save the file in "Paint" as a "JPEG."
  6. Go to "www.imageshack.us," or use the button on the bottom. Look for the file you saved. It might be easier to "Right Click" with the "mouse," and highlight "Arrange Icons By," and select modified by clicking with the "mouse." Go all the way down to the bottom of the page and select the photo you just saved. Push "upload."
  7. Copy the "Thumbnail for forums (1)" and paste it in your next reply, like so:
Eh, my new desktop.

Woa, Solid. You need to magnify an 640x480 screen? :boggled:
It's 800x600. I'm using a 34"HDTV set with POP (Picture Opposite Picture). I have the left screen as a TV source, like right now it's a HD recording of David Letterman from Friday. The right screen is this post I'm typing up.

The right and left screen can be individual sized to whatever size I want. The left screen currently is about a 10" screen and the right screen about 21".

Since I'm using a S-Video output to my HDTV set, the resolution is only 480i. The 800x600 PC resolution is squashed into 480i which is then fit into 21" screen which is about 8 feet away. PC on TV is very fuzzy, to say the least.

Can you now see why I have magnifier and the 800x600 screen resolution?

I didn't understand half of that, but my bad. I thought that I've heard that you had bad eyesight or something like that, which you apparently don't, so I just asked.

@ALPINE: Nice and tidy. I see that you skate. 👍 Check out the skateboarding thread over at the sports forum.

OMG That's friggin' neat! I wish I can do that.

Alpine - nah, it doesn't make me faint. My desk used to be as bad. Although I do say that you should clean up :sly:

My desktop:

Thanks VTGT for the Royale theme, again.
