I shall be looking forward to your ping.

Sam Adams' reply 18 just happened to get included in the area I grabbed to demonstrate the right click contextual menu on OS X.

Actually, it is merely a screen grab from a little utility that comes with OS X... called, for some strange reason, "Grab". This allows you to grab a full screen (mine's a 23" Cinema Display, a trifle large for a post), a specific Window on the screen, an area of the screen selected by dragging the mouse, or a "timed" full screen, which grabs the snap shot 10 seconds after choosing that option.

It actually took a two step process because I needed to use the same mouse that would outline an area... so I took a "timed" screen grab... while I highlighted the word "google" in your reply, and pressed the right mouse button, waited until the "click" sound indicated the screen had been grabbed. Since I didn't want to post an entire 23" screen of FreeRepublic posts, I then did another screen grab using the "selection" option, this time on the picture of the Window to just pick up a small area of the entire window... and then posted it as a JPG.
