For those of you who didn’t already know, after talking to Tigger about Corel Draw and other such drawing applications, and Danalyn forcing me to spend money persuading me to spend money convincing me that Wacom Tablets are cool, I went to Best Buy and bought me one.
I got the 4×5 tablet because it was about $125 cheaper than the 4×6 tablet. The guy helping me was quick to say aside from the 1 inch that it gives you, the software that comes with it is much better and are full versions. “Ah I see. But I have Photoshop and Illustrator. I’m pretty sure I won’t care about the software.” I felt kinda bad, because he just shut up after that. But that’s ok, we’ll never see each other again most likely.
You’ll probably notice from the picture that I’ve actually busted out the mouse for it. Yes, I’m using it right now, but only because my main laser mouse (top left corner) is currently charging. And that mouse on the right side? Well, if you know me, you’ll know that I keep everything. That was the mouse I used before the laser mouse in the top left. Yeah, I’m weird, don’t I know it. There are just some things I can’t let go.

And to think you had an issue coming up with your “I’m so geeky I…” statement.
I’m not a geek!
…I’m a level 12 paladin…
LOL I gotta buy that t-shirt!
Cool! I want one of those too. I can’t draw for shit using the mouse. I need the pencil thingy that it comes with.
Well, I have been considering getting one of these very things for some time now. Let me know how you end up liking it after using it a bit. May have to get me one as well..
Oh! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Wacom tablet and styllis pen! I am on my second one! I draw in Paint Shop Pro (9&10)…You’ll love this when you get so comfortable with it, like I am now….
My husband has an older tablet…maybe I should give it a try. It is pretty old though and I am sure the software is really outdated. Of course I will never get to use it myself , my 5 yr old will want to try it.
There is nothing wrong with keeping a back up mouse, and a back up to the back up. LOL!
i’m jealous!
I want one. (and is it bad that I had to google paladin?)
Well, if that Best Buy is anything like my Best Buy, then the small tablet is from the Graphire line, while the larger tablet is from the Intuos line. Full version software is not the only good thing about the Intuos model. It actually has greater pen depth and sensitivity as well.
I have an Intuos.
