Quote - The Bamboo is great! I've got the touch & pen and it really works well. I had a large tablet before this one and the Bamboo is about half size, but I don't really miss the loss of size at all. The Bamboo is very nice to work with, especially when you use it all day. Being able to switch between a pen and a touch pad is nice also. Something I do prefer working with the touch pad and compared to others it's huge :-)

The Bamboo is responsive and quite accurate. I use for modeling, sculpting, a bit of drawing/painting, photo/render editing and of course poser. Works well of all of them and if you get used to it, you can do any task with it, I never use a mouse anymore. That's a huge benefit also, since it's less straining then a mouse, a lot less.

I'm with you,  the Bamboo is a superior product.  One thing I really like about it is that you can place it on your lap lean back in your computer chair and you don't need much hand movement to get outstanding results.  Personally, I really hate sliding my palm across a large surface and you must adjust your chair to the slate.  I prefer it the other way.  Jan
