These guys have been spamming my sports blog for nigh on 10 years now, with pretty much the exact same message year in, year out. (My thanks to Askimet for nuking 99.9% of their submissions.)
I was bloody annoyed at first, but after a certain number of years, you have to admire certain spammers for their consistency and bloody-minded perseverance.
In tribute, here is their spam in full:

I’ve needed to capture a screenshots on several systems recently that do not have the “Print Screen” button. Here are some handy ways to take a picture of the current screen or application if you don’t have access to them.
Windows On-Screen Keyboard:
Click Start, RUN, type “OSK”, hit Enter. You now have a floating keyboard which has a Print Screen – sometimes labeled “PSC”, “Prt Scrn” or “Print Scrn”. Tip: create a shortcut to the OnScreenKeyboard: right click on the desktop, click New Shortcut, type “OSK”, click next twice, and there you have it. Note: you will get a picture of the keyboard in your screenshots.
More about this from Microsoft.
Windows on an Apple Keyboard
I have this issue on my MacBook Air running Windows 7 and Bootcamp – there’s no printscreen button on Apple Keyboards.
- Function (fn) – Shift – F11 works as printscreen on my MacBook Air.
- If your Apple keyboard has an F14 button, that should work as PrintScreen in Windows, I’ve heard that F13 sometimes works.
- For more information on Apple keyboards in Windows, see this article from Apple.
ScreenHunter 5 Free is a “completely free screen capture software” for you to easily take screenshots – I haven’t needed to use it but might be worth a look.
MacOSX on an Apple Keyboard
Cmd-Shift-3 takes a screenshot and saves to the desktop as an image file (Windows saves a copy to the clipboard for pasting into another program).
Hope this helps – now it’s over to you! Is there a system you don’t know how to take a screenshot on that’s not listed here? Leave a comment and I’ll do my best to find an answer for you. If you have any other suggestions, please leave them as comments too !
