Subject: Questions about graphics tablets

Hi y'all! Well, just recently, my trusty ol' Wacom Graphire2 tablet "gave up the ghost" by getting its wire frayed thisclose to where it enters the tablet. For the price (got it off of ebay), it has lasted quite a good while. Very happy with it. Question 1: Should I try to get it fixed (can't see any way to fix it), or should I buy a new tablet? Question 2: If the answer is the latter, what should I invest in? I've looked at the various models of Wacom tablets and have narrowed my choices to four: Graphire3 4 x 5", Graphire3 6 x 8", Intuos3 4 x 5" or Intuos3 6 x 8". Anybody have any recommendations? I posted here because Rosity doesn't have a Tech help forum (like 3DC does). Thanks very much! Happy Holidays! ~Tim ^_-

Oh dear i think mine is probably even older than yours. i have a Wacom Ultrapad A5 !!. I'd be lost without it

Ever take that "What pad's for me?" wizard on the Wacom site? When I checked "General user," it said I should use the Graphire3 4 x 5. When I checked "Fine Artist," it said I should use the Intuos3 6 x 8. Right now my tablet is basically serving as a stable mousing surface. ~Tim ^_^

i use a intuos A4 size tablet that I purchased nearly 4 years ago. Its brilliant and I couldn't envisage working with any thing else.

peace and bright blessings

If it was me I'd try to fix it. They're not really that cheap. And if you mess it up trying to fix it you're not any worst off, right? lol.

On the other hand it's a good excuse to get a new one from Santa Claus. ;)

Happy Holidays! :D PS. I have the 6x8 Graphire3. I can't imagine using anything smaller.
