I see many forums where people post images taken directly off their displays, for example of iStat.

Do a search (this has been covered over and over again) or check out the guide (http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X).

Thanks for being so helpful. I promise next time I will search before posting, I'm really really sorry about that.

Shift-Command-3 for the whole screen and Shift-Command-4 for a part of it, in case you did not search yet :D

Or read the guide I linked which has all the keyboard shortcuts, along with other useful info on the topic :rolleyes:
