When putting together the earlier post I needed to grab some shots of the process and as always I’d forgotton the OS X screen grab shortcut keys so I thought I’d stick them down here. Command-Shift-3 will capture the whole screen and save it Command-Shift-4 perhaps more usefully will present crosshairs to allow the capture [...] Having recently upgraded to Snow Leopard one of the things that stopped working was my Cisco VPN client for access to my work network.
