If you need more, just move or rename the screenshot files.

Depending on the version of the OS, the computer will do different things with the screen shot. On any mac running an OS made in the last 3 years, the computer will put a document called 'Picture-1.pdf' on the desktop. Older macs put 'Picture-1' root level on the hard drive, and the file format is PICT, not PDF. There's also an OS version in between these 2 behaviors where the file is put on the desktop, but it is a TIFF file. If a Mac has a floppy dive or Zip drive -- it can read and write to PC formatted media. Don't expect to be able to format any media as PC format though. The built-in Disk burning software automatically burns the disks in such a way that they can be read on PC's as well. BTW -- Macs have not shipped with floppy drives in about 4 years.
