Now, I know I could do a screen capture, but I was wondering if anyone had
any ideas on how best to photograph a computer screen.

It's easy. You'll need a tripod, positioned with the camera as parallel
as possible with the screen, & a shutter speed that's an *exact*
multiple of the displays refresh rate to prevent dark bars appearing in
the photo. Eg: to photograph an American TV screen (60Hz field rate,
30Hz refresh rate), you'd use a shutter speed of 1/30th, 1/15th, etc.



Not to diminish the fine photography advice here, but there's gotta be
a way on a MAC to grab the screen and save it to a file in some
graphics format.

I don't do MAC. In a windoze system I can save the entire screen, or
just the active panel to a BMP file, and then do anything I want with
it.
