No, it's Shift+Command+3.

And Shift+Command+4 if you want to specify a specific area rather than a full screen. It still pisses me off to no end that I need to paste screen caps into an image application before I can save it as a file on my Windoze box. What kind of fucked up shit is that?

what's the actual file format? macs do not use file extensions (which makes it a bugger to figure out what kind of file something is from just the filename). Try opening it using some programs. Use your browsers, and use quicktime, and if you have clarisworks, use that too, because with clarisworks, you can 'file>save as' and get it saved as a jpeg, bmp or gif.

If you have MS word, you can insert the picture, and save as html, and your image will get saved seperately as a jpeg image, but you cannot control the picture quality of the jpeg in this way. And it requires Microsoft software, so i don't recommend it  :D

The PICT format was a proprietary thing for Mac only. Nowadays, OS X takes snaps as TIFFs, but can also do JPG, BMP, GIF, what have you.
Back to the original question, I THINK an old program called JPEGview allowed you to open PICTs and save then as JPG's. I can't remember for sure if it could do that, but it was definitely System 7.1 friendly.

Is it not booting at all?

If its not booting do you have an OS install disc?

If you have the install disc hold down the "C" key while your computer starts and it will boot from that disc.  Use the disc utilities to try and fix the problem.

This works for most recent Macs I don't know about the older ones.

If you want to eject a disk, do File -> Put Away or put it in the trash/wastebasket.
