Q: Someone told me I had to print my screen to grab an image. I want to print my screen, but my printer doesn't seem to work. Plus, how do you grab an image unless you print it out first!?
A: Just to clarify, you are not asking about literally grabbing an image, correct? Generally when we talk about "grabbing" things on the computer, we say we are "cutting" them-- although with storage capacity being as cheap as it is nowadays, we often use the "copy" function, in which case we are "copying". Anyway, semantics aside, the "copy" function can be executed by RIGHT-CLICKING on an image, then select "COPY IMAGE" from the drop down menu. The image is now in your computer's "memory" and can be "pasted" into different places as many times as your hard drive will allow. This can be done by opening the folder you would like to paste into, RIGHT-CLICKING on an empty area, and selecting "PASTE" from the drop down menu. This is a skill you will be using many times in the computerized future, so just "copy" and "paste" it where applicable! -Terry

...I don't know what computer you're using, but I was pretty sure you can only paste images into image editing programs. Like Paint. Then you can save them. Better yet, save them directly from the web page.
I'm pretty sure you can't paste directly into folders, though.
Sorry, this one was bothering me. A lot. Unless, of course, this is a joke site, in which case I'm embarassing myself... Which is kinda fun, too. But again, my apologies.
