    Please help out a tekno-dolt

    i need someone to teach me something...

    exactly what is done here...

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/boxing-mma...-plays-p8.html

    in post #248

    how to take and post a screenshot of a page from 5d sportsbook and also on the same page a screenshot of the windows clock

    I know how to do the simplest screenshot...of the whole monitor (using "PrtSc" key and the paint program...but don't have a clue how to cut it down to an apporpriate size and locate it on the post they way most of you guys do)...

    this may be (probably isn't tho...still thot' i should mention it) complicated by the fact that my display covers 2 monitors side by side so my resulting screen that is saved is double-width and the paint file created always has one of those horizontal slide-bars on it so that someone with a single-monitor display looking at my paint-file screenshot can take it all in

    if one of you guys walks me thru this (in a "step by step" fashion suitable for a dolt)...it'd save me a ton of time over figuring it out myself...
    _________________________

    the very fact that I have to ask demonstrates how much of a techno-dolt I am
    (outside of excel-spreadsheeting...any of this multi-media'ing and web-sharing stuff...zilcho)

    i'm intentionally NOT posting this over in PT...to avoid the usual knee-jerk
    "if you have to ask......." smart-assery


    please don't destroy my theory that tennis sub-forum guys are a major cut above that

    Who cares about screenshots. Just post your plays and keep track of your record yourself. If you keep winning, you will have plenty of dudes correcting your minor mistakes. If not, nobody will really care. GL.

    I need it for a thread based on mechanical play-selection based on prices...purely to establish a useful "benchmark"..

    my original post over in the baseball forum, includes this paragraph, which makes its use clear

    i need to do this, not as "proof" of anything...but as a way of establishing an official "benchmark" list of qualifying plays and prices...

    i will be posting my own plays (aka. the result of my actual day's shopping...which may vary significantly from that implied by the screenshot posted earlier) but, i want to maintain an official "benchmark" thread record of the "plain-vanilla" concept as well
    __________

    if you can help me, fire away...

    based on what you and gregm are always "backnforthing" on his fascinating thread...i'm quite sure you can help (i just loved all the recent mitch hedberg stuff...but seeing serena's "thunder thighs" bulging out of her leopard-pattern swim suit is something i'd rather have NEVER seen, lol)
