Someone asked me about tablets on another forum. I haven't tried a CalComp in years. The first ones I tried were terrible, but hopefully they got better. I have used Wacom for years. I have an Intuos II. There is a difference in the sensitivity between the old Wacoms and Graphire and the Intuos II. The Intuos II has over 1000 levels of sensitivity as opposed to 512 on the others. This was a graphic I did to show how a pressure sensitive pen responds in Painter which is a program that probably takes the most advantage of the pen than most because of its brush technology. Cris
