Nice Wacom tablet. I just have the cheap Graphire but have been thinking if getting an Intuos. How do you like it?

I have a Graphire 4x5 as well. To be honest, the quality increase is inspiring. When I had my Graphire I couldn't get inspired to draw. All my lines came out squiggly or rough. I didn't think an Intuos would be much different, but it really is.

If you visit the Wacom site you can see the difference in specs, but they neglect to tell you that while the Graphire feels like drawing on plastic (with plastic), the Intuos feels like drawing a blemish-free canvas with a fine-point marker (Depends on which nibs you use as well. It comes with a whole bunch. Springy ones for painting, rough ones for charcoals, etc). It really is sensational.

One thing I didn't like at first was the size. With a 4x5 you get used to covering the entire screen with a flick of the wrist. But my Intuos is a 9x12. It might not sound daunting, but it really is. You really have to move your arms around. I got used to it though, and now I could never go back.

The 9x12 is great, but it's almost too much. Unless you're really into canvas paintings, you might find it too tasking. If you're using your tablet to replace your mouse, or just for casual sketches, then I'd recommend the 6x8 (or 6x11 if you have a widescreen). It's also alot cheaper then the 9x12.

But everything about it is so awesome. The sensitivity is outstanding, and the ability to tilt your brush rocks. The shortcut buttons come in handy, especially the touch sliders. I think, by default, they're set to zoom and change brush size, but you can assign any shortcut key to them. The only thing I find dumb about the shortcut buttons is how awkward it is to reach over your drawing hand just to press a shortcut key on the left side. It'd be faster to use your keyboard. But I guess they have them on the left side for left-handed people.

Wow, this got long. Haha, to sum it up: buy one, it's well worth the penny!

I have an el-cheapo tablet-drawing-pen-thingy as well from a long time ago, never could get used to it and mine was NOT a Wacom. Since I now do my comic I have been thinking about getting a Wacom though!

Well, once I get some money rolling in I might just have to grab me one of them, very nice!

Thanks! You should see the chords I'm hiding! I used to have that glass desk but it was just too impractical. Here's my whole desk (my scanner, external hard drive, camera, camcorder, iPod, subwoofer, and phone are all hidden inside of it), I couldn't help but iPhoto it up:

[amru]

wow. is the mounted display fixed or can you move it [like tilt a few degrees up or down & side to side]

props to you man.

Sadly, it's fixed. I'd eventualy like to buy a VESA arm. And an ACD

[ChasingApple]

The word CLEAN just comes to mind here. Nice setup stefanicotine

[slpdLoad]

Great setup stefanicotine. While we're at it, how do you like that chair? (It's one of those where you sorta sit on your knees, right?) Thanks.

[bjones211]

Not as clean a desk as others but here is a pic with the 24"er in the air.

Like most teenagers nowadays, I have pretty bad posture. I got the knee chair because I heard it helps straighten you out. Not only has it done that, but it's probably the comfiest chair I've used. It's almost *impossible* to slouch in this chair. It really forces good posture.

My only regret is that it doesn't have a backrest for those times you just want to relax.

bjones211, that thing looks huge! I love the wallpaper too. That's one thing Windows will never have over Apple. The defaul Apple wallpapers are gourgeous

Here is my set up. I am very proud of it. We totally updated the lab this summer. I am the tech teacher for the elementary school located in Georgia.

Very nice! I love the giant Apple logo on the wall. I would've loved to have that lab in my elementary school!

What size monitors are those? I take it your notebook is separate and merely there for looks/convenience, as opposed to being a span. Also, what kind of keyboard/mouse combo is that? Bluetooth?

[quiklee]

Going from left to right - 19" WS Viewsonic - 24" iMac - 13" MacBook

Right now, I try my best to sync my MacBook with the iMac so I can work comfortably out in the world or in my office.

The Keyboard is a Logitech S530 Setup and the Audio is all hooked up through the 5.1 Sony DVD Dream System on the left below the Viewsonic.

[dbranham]

Is it the X530 or S530 setup? I could only find the former online. Does that mouse have the same scroll wheel as the Logitech Revolution that supposedly spins freely after you let go of it? Does that combo, or a similar one, come in Bluetooth?

I love your desk, btw. Your expose on the Redmond copy machine was funny, as well.

[quiklee]

it's the 530 setup . . . you can find it on buy.com or even better . . go to ebay . . . the mouse is not like the revolution . . the scroll wheel isn't as free and the response isn't as tight, but it's good enough for what i need to get done . . . and no, it's not bluetooth, but it has a really small receiver (think usb flash drive) that plugs into your usb hub and you're good to go.

thanks for the compliment on my iMac site . . i've been really trying to build it up . . .

I kind of have runner-up/out of date everything d=

I'm not seeing any Grey Goose up there - that'd get my vote for your next bottle. Vendor choice is up to you.
