Can someone please explain to me how to do a screenshot from my PC.

Thanks.

Ctrl + Print screen together then paste to wherever.

Ctrl V should also allow you to paste.

Geo

There are plenty of free downloads available if you only want to capture a certain area as opposed to a full screenshot.

Alt + print screen does that for you

Geo

I cant get it to work either

Have just tried both with no problems, tried to attach the doc but it's too large. I'm only on a laptop so not sure if there are different configs for different pc's laptops.

I tried it a few times, & now my keyboard is right up the creek!

When I press " I get @, & vice-versa. Sigh, this never happened with pencil & paper.

Thanks Byron, but it's all too complicated, & now I've messed up my keyboard trying to do it.

One has given up.

Thanks Byron, I was pasting to word, however to paste to paint I need to open paint first before copying.

Apologies TK

BT shed 15,000 jobs last year, & needs to shed another 15,000 this year. It's fat, flabby, over-manned, & a mess.

Despite (arguably) attractive redundancy packages, there are not enough Staff willing to acceopt voluntary redundancy, & they (BT) are not strong enough to push through compulsory redundancy.

So they found a bit of a solution for 2,000 jobs. BT had moved some of their Call Centres to Bombay - this was not, in practical terms a success, we can all see that.

So they decided to bring them back to the UK, to Newcastle in fact. Yay, 2,000 jobs saved.

Well, it was, until the Unions poked their oar in......

The work involves shifts, Saturday & Sunday included, & as late as 11pm.

"We can't have staff working unsocial hours" said the Union. Pfft.

I think if BT had any balls, they'd tell the Unions to mind their own business, & ask the Staff themself. "Here's a job. Do you want it, or not?". The Staff want the jobs - of course they do - but would be intimidated by Union muscle.

Anyway, the upshot appears to be that the Call Centre jobs - 2,000 of them - will stay in Bombay.

God Bless the Unions.

Thanks Geo - but it's not arrived yet.

Still, it's a long way from Scotland to Feltham, perpaps it's stuck in the wire somewhere.

Yay 2000 jobs saved in bombay. can't be certain of course but I guess being unemployed in newcastle is an easier life than being unemployed in bombay. perhaps the unions are just being humanitarian

As busy as can be, but Birthday Boy today, so I feel a summing up coming on, "how am I doing, health, wealth & breath-wise" all reflective like. Don't worry, I'll Post a "look away now" warning. It's be tomorrow now I guess, so much to do today, & BTS, everything's going off.

But for now, two 'photographs, both of which have been widely disseminated on Poker Forums, Blogs, Press Releases & e-Mail shots in the last few days.

One was taken on Friday, the other on Sunday.......
