But ability to be able to do it seems is debatable.

You sure #2 will work? What if OP is using iSomething or some kind of linux or a keyboard where one needs to press function key too to do a print screen.

Yep. Of course, he may also need to find a permanent marker first...

I know you are probably thinking "Oh, no. Not another feeble minded post about WinXP. Let the smoldering ashes rest"! 
I just found it interesting, that my XP box had 4 updates today, April 9th [Office Update, IE8 Security Update, XP Security Update and Malicious Software Removal Tool update].
I suppose they could have been received by the system yesterday, but I saw no trace of them when I turned it off last night, well after midnight.

Interesting. I have XP on a laptop that I rarely use but tried getting updates the last few weeks and there weren't any. I'll have to try again and see if I get that "last gasp of support".

The last "gasp of support" is probably some malware to make your XP die within a month so that you're cut-off from support and have to upgrade to Win8.

I've got an old Win2K machine, should I check for updates on that too?

Funny you should ask. I recently noticed a Win2K Server system I 'inherited' has 65 updates waiting. I have no idea how long ago they were received as I was not previously in charge of that system.

Win2K, you can throw rocks at it and carries on. (Once got a test system I built back from some of a previous companies Israeli clients with what looked like 50Cal bullets holes in, system worked fine!)

I've still got a Win2k RC2 machine around the house, and it's never failed me. It hasn't been powered up in several years, but I bet it would work like a charm. But then nothing I use regularly would run on it anymore...

I don't think so - not when the icon showed up telling me there were updates ready. I am in the same time zone as Redmond and I did not see any updates when I turned my system off late last night.

Been there, done that - made a business trip for GE around 1969. Interesting place, interesting people. It was fall, and the local connecting airline (I had landed in Boston) cancelled its flight due to weather conditions (just too much haze, not rain), so I had to rent a car and drive there through all of the beautiful Maples decked out in their beautiful fall leaves. What a wonderful trip.

We never did that "print a bell and a formfeed forever", but we DID something about as nasty.
Those GE Terminet printers had a rubber band with metal "tounges" for each character, looping in front of the paper. Whenever a character "tounge" passed the position where that character was to be printed, a solenid stroke the tounge from behind, making it hit the paper (through an ink ribbon). There was one solenoid for each of the 132 printing positions. If the "A" tounge passed the position where an "A" was to be printed at the same time as the "Z" tounge passed the position where a "Z" was to be printed, the two solenoids would strike at the same time.
We did some experimenting to see how many solenoids we could make strike at the same moment, using carefully prepared text lines. It turned out that you couldn't make all 132 fire together, but you could fire every second, making 66 hammers hit the roller at the same time. The impact made the printer jump about half an inch. We made a program to repeat this for the specified number of lines; the program was given the descriptive name "bang". "bang 6" would make the printer fire six times, making six small jumps, and "bang 10" left a burnt-out power supply...
The IT operations guys at our university never discovered the "bang" program, and was very puzzled by the repeated breakdowns of the printer power supplies, making several inquires to the manufacturer about the problem. After a while, the novelty of "bang" wore off.

That is delightfully evil! Not as portable as ^G^L, but definitely more amusing.
I think I remember those printers (at University): as I recall they were noisy bitches at the best of times. I can't imagine them in full death-throe mode.
