Have you gotten your tablet yet? (Seeing as this thread is a couple months old)
I bought a Bamboo Pen (small size) over the summer because I’d never had a tablet at all, and wanted to try it out. I’m quite pleased with it, too. So much easier than mousing with my off-hand!
Does anyone remember the old school light pens, like they used to animate one of the Reading Rainbow stories? They showed the people using the pen after they’d read the story, and how it worked directly on the monitor… it was nowhere near as advanced and the artwork was pixel graphics, but I wanted one of those back then.
