Use On-Screen Keyboard for Virtual Machines running within Mac OS

In case you are looking for the "Print Screen" button or some other buttons such as the "Page Up" or "Page Down" buttons when running a virtual machine (such as one of the Microsoft Windows operating systems), this is what you can do.

On Windows XP Pro (which I am running on VMWare's Fusion 3 on Apple's Mac OSX), you can do the following:

      Click on Start => Accessories => Accessibility => On-Screen Keyboard

You will then get the following window that pops up.

As you can see, it will take up some screen real estate, but will give you back some functionality that you may have lost with a different keyboard.

I will post an entry showing some other options for screen capture (still and video) on the Mac OS.

Buy a Mac, get an iPod touch

Apple is running a special from May 27, 2009 to September 8, 2009. Buy a Mac via your education discount and get up to $229 back on the purchase of an iPod touch.

Click here to go to the Apple site for more details.

Remember: Don't buy the Mac just because you're getting an iPod touch. Get a Mac because you "need" it and it's great that "oh by the way" you're getting an iPod touch. Just as an FYI, at this time, I haven't felt the need for any mp3 player.
