    Do you think they make a difference when you design?

    Im most likely going to buy one online ( new ) ... its relativly cheap. $75 in total and the spec seem like they will run on my computer.. Just want to know peoples thoughts on them?

    i actually have the bamboo fun and it works great. i dont see any problems with it. it makes things a lot easier and more precise when youre drawing things.

    its basically another option other than a mouse. then pen hovers or the tablet and the curser goes around your computer like it would with a mouse. it gives you a more realistic feeling when drawing or painting because moving a mouse fluidly is very hard. it also has pressure sensitivity so you can press hard or soft like you would with a pencil.

    <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">What exactly are you planning on doing with it if you get one? If you're good with traditional art (pencil and paper) and want do to drawings on the computer, then by all means, get one. If you're just gonna make sigs, don't waste your money lol.


    btw...Here's mine: Wacom Intuos3 6x8

    If you buy one, I'd suggest it for paintbrushing instead of just sigs. :)
    Wish I had one. :D
