How do you take Screen Shots?

I may sound dumb for asking this, (since everyone seems to know how to do it) But how do you take screen shots?

there should be a button on your keyboard that says "print screen" (somewhere near the top right). if you hit that, you can then paste whatever image was on your screen into an image editing program. depending on your computer, you might have to hold down function key at the same time.

If you press the print screen button on your keyboard it takes a screen shot and puts it on the clipboard. Then you can paste it into any photo editing program. Also in Firefox you can get an add-on that has a little button down at the bottom right of the window that you press and you can select whether you want the full page or just the visible portion...

Oh dang... MSR beat me to it...
