How to take a screenshot on a 7.0.1 MacClassic?--SOLVED

This thread is actually quite scary. Back in 1990-ish, when the Classic would have been a modernish computer, transferring a PICT to a PC or Unix box would have been moderately painful. Software like MacLink made it a lot easier but the PICT format was supported by the majority of graphics packages. You may have had to transfer the file using a serial cable if you didn't have DOS Mounter or similar.
During the 1990s, this transfer would have been very straightforward. PC Exchange (in conjunction with a free copy of MacLink supplied with Mac OS) handled it all. Is it really so difficult today, or have we already started to lose old Mac knowledge?

Adobe PhotoShop 1.0 installed on the Macintosh Classic did the trick. Simply converting the orignal .PICT file to a .TIF one would allow to process it in GiMP to output a .JPG or whatever format a modern image manipulation suite can support.
