I got me one of these today :-

Not exactly a Wacom, but better than the scrappy thing I used to have, so all the better for texturing :D

I've seen a few of them :p

I never thought i could use one, since i;d end up losing my place on the tablet, and be drawing half in the wrong place...

Very nice though

LOL Thanks :D The trick there is that if you keep the pen hovered about 5 mm above the tablet, you can move the cursor without drawing, you can even run the nib gently across the board, but I'd advise against it though, you can draw by accident ;)

The wierd part is with me is that I am a left-handed writer, but a right handed mouse user, so I can actually use both at the same time, not that I can think of a reason to do so ;)

The one i saw being used had the tip, and a button on it, so that you could draw while just by moving, and press the button to darken up the line... Then there was an eraser on the other end :p ... But apparently it could also be used as a large touchpad as a mouse as well... (had buttons and all) ...

Lots of luck with it! :) I always wanted one, but I couldn't shell out the cash for one yet. :|

Car: 1st
PC: 2nd

But good news for me! My car is almost finished! :D

Anywho! I hope to see a stark improvement in the maps from now on. ;)
