1. What's the best way to make a screen shot?
2. I tend to save files to my desktop and when running multiple aplications. I hate having to close a zillion things to get a file.
3. Whats a good picture viewer I keep multiple pics on my desktop and when i open a pic it opens in preview and all i wanna do it hit next but I cant i have to close it out and click on a new pic
4. What;s the Mac equivalent of ctl alt delete or like a task manager. I have too freeze ups and its 3 weeks old. I would like to see what tasks are running and why it bogs down every once and a while

1a. Command+shift+3 will allow you to "draw" a box on the screen where you want to capture

2. You can set hot corners in the System Prefs > Expose & Spaces, for a variety of functions, one of them being to show the desktop.
3.
Free: Open multiple pics at once in Preview.
Free: Browse them right in the Finder, hit the spacebar to open in QuickView.
3b. I use an app called GraphicConverterX (paid app) which I think is the best. Aperture is okay, Lightroom is okay... stay away from ACDSee for Mac, it is one horrible piece of shit.
4. Command + Option + Escape to force quit. Go into the Utilities folder and open Activity Monitor to see what's running.
